Although Heinz was the first to publish adaptive null-move pruning formally, many people used it even before that. Donninger told me that in 1993 he used the very same idea in NIMZO. In his article Heinz points out that Donninger hinted at using R=2 in upper parts of the tree and R=3 in lower parts; but in fact Heinz misunderstood Donninger's 1993 article since Donninger suggested exactly what Heinz did. > >I have just to get a good compare run at Jan Louwman's auto232 >players with diep with 2 versions, the only difference being >R=3 versus adaptive nullmove (last 4 plies R=2), and that >DIEP then nearly gets a ply less deeply, it definitely was >reflected in score.
