So you're arguing my original point. After some consideration
I think either approach is fine.
Personally, I do
if (depth <= -10) { EvalV(cp,alpha,beta,&w); }
Or are you proposing something else? Perhaps a different depth or
something dynamic?
I may throw in a counter one of these days just to see how often
that cutoff is triggered in game play. Maybe after the semester
ends...
