Subject: Null-move R=? question

Hi all,

I'm adding nullmove search to my program and testing out
the different depth reduction possibilities.

What I wonder now is what exactly you have to consider/test
when deciding the reduction factor. Some people use 1, some
use 2, maybe some use 3 even.

What exactly do you risk to miss by using a bigger factor ?

Also, does the actual depth the program reaches play part in
this consideration ? (e.g. if you only get 5 ply then R=2 or
R=3 are out of the question?)
