Vincent uses R = 3 and complex quiescence search (Vincent, correct me if I am
wrong). Maybe your Verified Null-Move gives about the same results like R = 3
with a complex quiescence search.

_If_ this is true then your approach is simpler and therefore better. Just my
two thoughts before going to bed. Good nights.......
