Was that data published anywhere? Or do you have it still handy by chance?

My own tests with "DarkThought" do not show any significant differences
between MVV/LVA and SEE.

Could it be that your observed gains were due to aggressive SEE pruning in
the quiescence search instead of yielding gains by better move ordering in
higher parts of the search tree?
