I now have statisic permanent (better) in my log output.
The figure mentioned above is just 1 game(that's me).

I measure only for full search fail-low and exact(w/o the algorithm,always
upper) and NOT exact when scores within windows;

 x% = FULL_SEARCH_FL_EXACT/TOTAL_FULL_SEARCH_FL x 100.0;

I summed nominator and denominator cummulatively as game proceeds.
For the whole game, it may vary  from 2 - 6%.

This statistic I think is better then expected and significant.
Of course none can expect something like 10-15%.

If nullmove adds 150-200 ELO points as some say, then this (beefed-up fail soft)
may add 15-20 points and is free;
