The best way to get the most searching done within the time limit is to check your time during the search. If time is up, return alpha and don't go to the next iteration. It isn't wasting time to start searching into the next iteration (no matter how much time is left for this move) because even searching only 100 extra nodes could give you a better move than the one you already have. That's why you check your time during search and return alpha when time is up. Matt
