And even David Rasmussen, because his number was of value, even if his
explanation was a bit lacking.

It seems that move ordering is something of a black art.

Everyone does it a little differently.
Everyone even *counts* it a little differently (so we have to think clearly to
see if we are comparing apples to oranges).

And yet, it is one of the most important facets of the search.  The performance
jump in going from 70% correct to 90% correct will be enormous.

I also went through the information in Ernst Heinz's excellent book, and
Pepito's code.
