Previous version of Nero 4 some of you tried didn't actually use yet
optimal stopping.. I forgot one important line from my code...

Program plays now quite a bit better than before. But I'm afraid that
optimal stopping is far from optimal used in a chess program. Now Nero 4
does cutoffs after searched half the moves in higher depths, plus kind
of beta-cutoffs. Most of its moves seem quite sensible now.
