Hello.

I once tried the fractional extensions, and got really bad results, although in
Crafty they work perfect.
If I extend on check lets say 0,75, there will be no extensions since there are
two checks, and that may be out of horizon.
If I extend 1,5 at check, i get wonderful results at some testsuites, but a
really poor performance overall.
How do you manage, that the fractional extensions work, when they are needed,
without exploding the tree? A extension lower then 1 is no extension at this
ply, and if it is the last one before quiet search, you are lost?!?!?

(Now I have pseudo fractional extension in my engine, always giving a value of
100, what means one ply ext for me. Hope that sometimes I again can change it,
and it will work....)
