Funny wording...the file eval.c in the Phalanx distribution doesn't
actually evaluate but handles the search extensions. It's a lot bigger
than that of most chessprograms I know. Phalanx has a very 'smart'
search.

Note the line where it finds Bxh2+...17 plys.

I do think 'eval' is it's main strength ;)
