Additional info:
Also, I changed the late move reduction algorithm to make it more
correct. Here is exactly what I do:
1. At any node - I first must try 3 moves before considering
anything else.
2. Additionally, I try captures even if I've already tried 3 moves.
3. Otherwise,
DF: thanks for the link to this new (to me technique). I'll implement it
soon.
In my alpha/beta searcher a very simple minded version is actually
working very well - it will take weeks though to test and refine
this. The only thing I am doing now is:
At any given node ...

David,
Just one comment on the ETC. This is not internal iterative
deepening. Internal iterative deepening is a technique to find a high
quality move that hopefully will give you a cutoff (when it gets
searched.) It's a good technique to use but it isn't ETC.
However, ETC will sometimes
