Many simple ideas have been suggested in this forum, and I think they are worth
experimenting :

1-Use of database (only database, no engine of course ;o),
2-Incremental time control,
3-Maybe ending tablebases, if the computer have them.

I don't think we need much more than that. With this kind of conditions, I'm
sure we respect everyone's work : player, programmer, opening book maker...

What do you think ?
