The easiest and fastest way is to implement this in your program (directly into
your recursive search function). Note that it will slow down your program. If
you need it for debugging an unknown error, you may write each move directly to
harddisk. This slowed my program down to 1/10 but was very useful to detect
problems. Since your program is much faster, it run only with 1/100 of normal
speed. If you don't need to detect errors and therefor don't write each move
directly to harddisk the slowdown won't be so huge but still noticeable.

its practically the same like writing text to stdout, use fprintf instead of
printf
