Subject: Reusing Killers

Has anyone tried reusing the killers from a previous search, by copying killers
from ply n+2 -> n for n = 1 to MAXPLY-2 between searches? This obviously only
works in a game situation, so testing it on some test suite of non-related
position will show nothing. Preliminary test results showed a reduction of the
tree size of about 0.5-1% in my engine.
Not much but at least something.

Anyway, if someone has tried something similar, It would be interesting to hear
about it.
