Subject: Some PV thoughts...

Hi!

I managed to get my Principal Variation working. Now I have a simple AB search,
with iterative deepening and I'm trying to search first the PV moves from last
iteration. The strange thing is that I get very little savings in node count
when activating the PV sorting. Could the reason be that 1. I evaluate only
material and allready have captures tried first. 2.When I place the PV move in
front of the queue I place one capturing move further away. I also don't have
qsearch yet. How much should "normally" the total node count decrease when I try
PV moves first in every ply?
