When I said "not to the point", I meant that 'nodes used' is not a very direct measure of the quality of a move, it's rather an indirect one. If I somehow could get the score of each root move after an iteration, I would certainly use that for ordering, but I can't since I use PVS. I can't name any tangible side effects, I said it "might" have side effects. /David
