maybe Program Y will do better if it uses 10 minutes to find the
2 best moves in the position and 35 minutes to  continue to search using
the alpha beta algoritam what is the best move of the 2 (ignoring other
moves).


of course something like this is not a good idea at a fast rate because
there is a big chance the program will miss the best move(not 1 of the
2) but
I think in a slow rate most of the chances are that the program will not
miss
the best move and in this case so it should be better.

I do not know if 45 minutes per move is slow enough for ideas like this
but I believe an idea like this should be good at slow rate.
