since you use rather basic HCE eval, did you reach higher depth faster by (better) 'pruning' ? i never fully understood what pruning means when using a recursive search with some "value rules" = nodes are skipped more quickly ?
what do you think ?
[ i know the CPW pages but i'd rather understand the pruning mechanism my own way ]
