That is some variant on IID.  The idea for IID is to recursively do depth-2
searches which is very similar to normal iterative deepening, except going
by twosies rather than onesies...

Sounds like you just do a depth=2 search to get a best move and go with that.

At ply=3 in a 12 ply search I do a 2, 4, 5, 8 depth search to get a best move.
