Possibly not. If you simply have some 100 move sequence that exchanges to other
5 or 6 men, you already are having a far longer mate.

I don't think we will have exact statistics on it though. DTM won't hold for
long. It eats too much harddisk space for 7 men when compared to win/draw/loss.

KNNNNKQ is a 7 man egtb.
