Check, mate and pawn to 7th.. They are limited to 1 per ply (i.e., so if I had
check+pawn extension it would only count once).  I ran a depth 10 search on the
same position and see that...

which seems very high for the pawn extension.  I disabled it and ran it again
(this is quite painful, only 125Knps, ugh):
