Subject: Quantifying the benefits of fractional extensions

Hi all,

I just added code to my program to handle fractional extensions
and recapture extensions.

My problem now is: how do I test & tune these? I did what I
normally do and ran it through WAC. It did worse. Probably not
so surprising as they are nearly all rather simple tactical
positions, so extending more (on checks...not so much on
recaptures) is nearly always a win.

Does anybody here have a testcase? Maybe a set of positions
where it _really_ matters how you do your extensions?

If you added frac. extensions you your program, what made you
decide to do so?
