Subject: Branche factor

From the start position I get a branche  factor of about 14%

This is in a 10 ply search from the start position.

The branche factor is defined as:

(total_number_of_moves_looked_at_in_a_node_before_cutoff /
total_number_of_generates_moves) * 100

Only in the normal search no (quiesence search not counted))

In my case fo a 10 ply search
branche factor = 14.2408293344493% (955856/6712081)

Is this branch factor good or bad?
