Let me see if I understand what forward pruning accomplishes. I understand how it works. Forward pruning only reduces the time to depth (and nodes to depth), but it doesn't produce a more accurate score when searching to a fixed depth. In other words, if you had a choice of the two following options: 1. 10-ply search using no forward pruning 2. 10-ply search using null-move and all other things being equal, then choice 1 would potentially be the more accurate 10 ply result. Is this correct?
