If there would be material win for white within say 60 plies of search from

a) it would have been found already if winning for white by GM's and
especially by corr players. Hell, even Uri Blass with his autistic logics could
figure it out.
b) when not winning for white black has some real great compensation
perhaps black has a mate in 2 or something which my evaluation sees
tens of plies in advance but your 60 ply beancounter will miss it
c) a 60 ply material only search will reveal nothing significant as the
position is only evaluated by material. Who knows, perhaps white has a passer on
the 7th row already promoting in 1 step.
Are you sure that you didn't realize all this yet and the other 100 reasons why
it will contribute nothing to science.
Oh i realize again why i hardly read any posting on this forum... ...it's just
such a waste of time. People at kids level...
