Subject: Crafty question for Dr. Hyatt

Hi,

I noticed that in crafty all moves except the first move in the root move list
are sorted by the node count so that after the best move from the previous
iteration all other moves are in a descending order of node count searched in
the previous iteration?

Am i correct in reading the code? and what is the advantage of doing this?

Currently in my program, I keep the root move sorted based on the score returned
for each move from the previous iteration. highest score to lowest score. what
are the pros/cons of this method vs. crafty's?

Thank you in advance.

Sanjiv.
