I think there are still lots of people who do not use the null-move.  I do
not use it at the moment, but I have experimented with it several times in
the  past and will probably try it again.  Among the top programmers, I am
almost 100% sure that Richard Lang, Ed Schroder and Johan de Koning do not
use the null-move.  I also suspect that Marty Hirsch doesn't use it, but I
am less certain about this.
