If so, aren't you making the overall search deeper but also more selective? And hence your own chess judgement is important? Looked at another way, if "stepping in lines and then retracting" can give a better root move, why doesn't the search from the root do this automatically? Maybe it's the user's chess skill that is a key factor?! Gordon
