My timing:

#  2      0.00s                 0kN           1.00          1-         0
#  3      0.02s                 1kN [ 15.01]  0.96         70-         0
#  4      0.14s [  7.00]       11kN [  8.31]  1.06        546-         0
#  5      0.83s [  5.93]       55kN [  5.14]  1.28       3548-         0
#  6      4.06s [  4.89]      253kN [  4.60]  1.61      19237-         0

Once more our EBF is quite comparable, and even the nodes/second.
I'm a bit puzzled how your program does that without a hash table?

Obviously your move ordering is a bit better, while my basic speed
(as seen from the small depthes) is better.  The hash table does not make
that big a difference.

Sometimes I have seen (from experiments with Chest) that a bad move ordering
is in part compensated by the hash table, and a good move ordering greatly
decreases the additional effect of the hash table.
This effect seems to be involved here.

Cheers,
Heiner
