Hi Bas,

Why this ?
I'd thought, that the idea is to follow forced lines deeper (e.g. capture and
subsequent re-capture of a pawn). Otherwise the program could use these
recapture sequences to shift events beyond the horizon.

Thus, I would rather think of sequences, which do not disturb the material
balance.

When you restrict these to material wins, it seems to me that you are thinking
of avoiding traps ?
