Subject: Using SEE

Author: Stuart Cracraft

SEE - the static exchange evaluator can be used
to improve upon the usual capture search move
ordering or move selection.

Option 1)
SEE is used instead of usual sort to order losing
capture sequences at the bottom of the list, equal
sequences above that, and winning sequences at
the top?

Option 2)
Or, instead, should it be used to eliminate
losing capture sequences altogether from being
searched.

Option 1a)
Use SEE as in option 1 but also in the full-width
search for sorting capture sequences

Option 2)
Same as option 2 but also in full-width

Are there other choises of how to use SEE? Which
have proven best? And what kind of a speedup do you
see for the various options?

Thanks,
--Stuart
