I don't know what you are looking for. My program is probably one of a very few
(if any others exist) that takes plans into consideration and although I
responded to you, you did not respond back. It seems very unlikely that any
other program does what you are asking and it also seems unlikely that any other
programmer has really considered this a lot since to do it (at least my way)
requires multiple PVs and with normal Alpha/Beta, multiple PVs is costly since
it requires multiple exact scores.

The reason I am doing it the way I am is that it seemed the least difficult way
to handle plans (come up with a series of "best moves" and pick the one that
followed the plan the closest if applicable).
