I remember that my very first version of Hossa which knew already something
about the values of pieces played 1.a3 ... 2.Ra2 ... 3.Ra1 ... 4.Ra2 ... as long
as he didnt see any loss of material within his horizon. :-) Adding some tiny
random value to his eval function made him several 100 rating points stronger
:-)
