Subject: Cutoff Statistics

In  the development/debug version of my program Patzer I have built in
some statistics about cutoffs. I ran it on the Bratko-Kopec test
with search depth 8. Here some results of the cutoff efficiency of move
types:

BK  null hash capt kil1 kil2 misc
 2:  67   60   46   31   13   0
 3:  79   61   35   45   12   0
 4:  87   64   41   38   11   1
 5:  76   62   44   25   10   0
 6:  74   69   63   30    6   0
 7:  78   61   39   36   13   0
 8:  72   55   48   45   13   0
 9:  79   63   40   24    9   0
10:  80   60   45   34   18   0
11:  75   68   45   28    9   0
12:  72   66   48   40   18   0

that means e.g. in Bratko-Kopec #12  72% of all null moves produced
a cutoff, 66% of all hashmoves produced a cutoff etc.

the statistics was done in the normal search not quiescense and my
move ordering/generation is from left to right ( nullmove first,
hash move, good captures, first killer, second killer, up to 5
history moves, rest ).

Has anyone else statistics about cutoffs or will produce them?
