In the aforementioned Albillo 01, Junior goes quickly to "depth=63" (or so) and
then stops the search. Thus I concluded this is the max depth (and since we know
that for Junior 'depth != ply', I suppose Junior's max depth is <60). Of course
I may be jumping to conclusions.

IIRC the highest I saw was like 53 or 55, but never 60.
So no "mate in 30" to be expected from Fritz...
