Another idea. Often, when you fail high, actually more than one will fail high. An unrealistic example. Assume at a certain depth, in nodes that will fail high, they will either use about 10000 nodes or 1 node to fail high (because of a hash hit). If you search one after the other, you will randomly pick one or the other. On average 5000 nodes. If you search the first 2 moves in parallel, you will much more often get a very fast cutoff. Have I invented ETC now? :-) Regards, Dieter
