Ok I'm still learning and trying to understand this better. Let's take an example. Let's say that in this example from Monsoon, we got the result after 10 plies of Nf6 with a score of +3.02. Now when we do our 11 ply search, what do we set the aspiration window to? If 'score' is the score from the previous ply (which is +3.02 in this case), and 'n' is the width of the search window, then do you set your aspiration window to (score, score+n)? Bob gave the example of using (0,2*score). Obviously there are a lot of ways you could set your aspiration window. How do you know what is safe and what is not? For example, I suggested (3.02,3.77) and you said that it might be unsafe, and other things would have needed to happen for this to be safe. So how do you determine how to set the upper and lower bounds for your aspiration window?
