Possible topics: 1) Whether or not it really matters how far the move is from the root, since this is just being used to get a rough idea of what moves tend to be good. I'm not sure it's intuitive that closer to the root is better, since most applications of this heuristic will occur further from the root, why not weight moves that tend to cause cutoffs way out there as higher? 2) Whether the moves that tend to have high history values in one position also tend to have them in other positions, and if so, perhaps some sort of static weighting system might be more efficient. bruce
