But once you come up with a new function in a prototype you can switch between the old and the new in a single program using single a number to represent the relative weight of the two (e.g. 0-1, where 0=use old, 1=use new, else anything in between). So why would you need two programs and make plans of future integration. Integrating two leaf node evaluators, both developed on the same Tiger base code, might take from under an hour to few hours or a day at most, depending how disciplined your coding is. That is, if the leaf evaluator is the only difference. It doesn't fit what little we already know about. There must be another ingredient that both, requires much more work than just cut, paste & call to integrate with regular Tiger, and that makes the increased king safety score work in comp-comp play.
