I don't think you need a long rollout for this position. I think I can give you
the "ultimate rollout". A 16ply gives me 0.440498 (or -0.119004 eq). It takes
only a few seconds for a 16 ply because of the aggressive caching of previously
reached positions. Of course, this can be wrong as well since it might misplay a
little on the way.
