How do you know that :) Yes, the evaluation function is simple, but the search
is not _that_ simple... It is true, though, that my "philosophy" is to make
everything as simple and elegant as possible. If I can live without programming
an exception, I won't program it. But surely I will improve the evaluation, but
other things come first.

I try to fix it but I have decided to implement is the same time as hash tables
and for some reason I want to finish all the other things first... But it is
frustrating when Requiem draws in clearly won positions but at least they are
clearly won positions :)
