Jeremiah, here's the answer to your question. I ran the
same 300 problem test at 5 seconds a move and this showed
SEE with an improvement:

202i **** 77% 231/300 1249.79 272263232 907544/4/217848 0/0/8711442/0/0/0

202h **** 75% 225/300 1255.87 303000768 1010003/4/241269 0/0/17889688/0/0/0

It is a smaller improvement, only 6 problems, so about 2% better result.
Speed of searh is slower which confuses me somewhat. As move ordering
improves, speed of search goes down as does node count. More cutoffs
I suppose.

Anyway, thanks to all who helped with SEE.

Now my new question is what features do you think would help in solving
problems rapidly. Extensions?
