Athlon 1.2ghz, pn^2 without pn-transpositions:
proved that move f5xh7 wins, 11 turns
PN2:1146353 evals, 31056 expands,  3.91 seconds

Athlon 1.2ghz, pn^2 with pn-transpositions:
proved that move f5xh7 wins, 11 turns
PN2:952464 evals, 22224 expands,  3.36 seconds

Athlon 1.2ghz, pn-search with transpositions:
proved that move f5xh7 wins, 11 turns
PN:261248 evals, 6348 expands, 24 max ply,  0.95 seconds

pn-transpositions meaning that the search checks for transpositions in
the secondary pn-search as well as in the primary pn2 search.  I
just recently implemented this for use in my suicide chess program,
but it seems to also pay off for standard chess. This costs a bit
of speed(nps) but seems to be well worth it.

Also clearly raw pn-search is much(3x) better than pn^2 search, but
only if you have enough ram(pn-search is best-first search so all nodes
must be stored in ram)
