I remain of the opinion that wide search intervals are a must for positions like this since a narrow search interval may miss some good possible plays during the containment phase after hitting a shot. Bot playing strength is quite important from here as quick 1 ply and 2 ply XG RO's (default SI) have this as a huge pass and also TG ! A 1296 game 3 ply normal RO also had this as a definate pass, whereas an ongoing longer 3 ply huge RO is much less sure of the pass. This indicates clearly stronger playing ability for Black with the larger SI (noting White's plays are about 99% forced from here)

Note also (consult article on XG site) that 4 and 5 ply default SI are quite wide, however, I'd expect some slight improvement in 4 ply using huge here (not that I will expend the CPU time to test it).
