Heyyy Tony! :-)

Just for a comparison:

- Well, aspiration we agree.
- History I'm not sure, though I still use it. Some say piece square sorting is
a good alternative.
- FP I don't believe in. You?
- SEE pruning in the qsearch is a win for me. I've tried earlier throwing it
out, to see if my qchecks become more effective, but no.


Ciao!
