See end of this message - first, let me insert some "on topic" stuff:

Partition search?

The page:
http://www.cirl.uoregon.edu/research/partitionSearch.html
discusses "partition search", and gives a paper.

While applied in bridge software, it seems like it might be applicable
to chess, as might the techniques discussed on:
http://www.cirl.uoregon.edu/research/sysMethods.html

Has anyone used these in chess?

====== free bridge software ===================

The "master page" for computer bridge is:
http://www.mcn.net/~jimloy/review2.html#free
which has a list of freely downloadable computer bridge games.
The files themselves are available through links, or by searching for bridge at
http://www.download.com
Seems to be mainly demos and shareware, rather than freeware.
