Well, I have a lot more than 30% in qnodes, but there can be no problem here
(I've checked many times...). I increase nodes after calling qsearch() in
search(). And I increase qnodes in the beginning of qsearch(). I use SEE and
prune non-promising captures. I have to check this more. But ratio seems to get
better (less qnodes) with greater depths and I don't have hash tables yet which
might also affect.
