Ok, Joshua. My apologies to you since i didn't read correctly your question.
BTW Where is the point in getting a "slow searcher" when everybody knows that
the true power of a chess program is in superior tactics, not certainly in a
better positional understanding. If I remember well, several tries to optimize
the positional knowledge disadvantaging the search deepness gave unsatisfactory
outcomes.
