Maybe even something slightly higher, like 11-14? I will try that when I find
the time.
The 32 in my "6666 Deep" is of course exaggerated and was just interesting to
test. However, it was a revelation to see that it makes almost no difference in
closed positions (the few POSxx from LCT 2 I tested showed only 1-2 seconds time
difference and no ply difference).

Probably we shouldn't underestimate the importance of Max Depth as well.
20 is maybe too small. I don't know what value corresponds to setting it to
"Max" (I only found out yesterday that the slider has a "Max" setting :).
