Yes it didn't work here. Apart from that it gametree technical
seen is dubious to do, it's reduction factor is too big.

Both for my draughts program as well for my chessprogram it didn't work.

Fullwidth search is way better for draughts. I get 40 to 60 ply
fullwidth in endgame anyway (and still it cannot win won endgames).
