if you use PVS as I do, it will *always* simply be score, score+1, where
score is the score you see for the best move so far.  That wouldn't be
very informative.  if you don't use PVS, then yes it changes very
rapidly
as different parts of the tree are traversed and affect alpha/beta/both.
perhaps thousands of times per second...
