I doubt if it is possible to tell programs to search to the same depth with
exactly the same extensions and the same pruning and even if it is possible then
better evaluation function does not mean a better program.

The problem is that programs may never evaluate some types of unclear
positions in normal games thank to extensions  when they are forced to evaluate
them in fixed depth Brute force search.
