Go up one level in this thread

I just want to point out what i'm told, correct me if i'm wrong.  A better
evaluate helps an engine search deeper because it begins to distinguish more
between good and bad moves when no obvious material gaining moves are available.
 The more it can differentiate moves the more alpha beta cutoffs it can get
which means less nodes searched for a given depth and consequently more time
spent getting more depth.  Also as in the case of this game were pulsar made bad
decisions a good evaluate can both defend against the opponents tactics and
create tactical possiblities.
