Why probe the first 2 plies (always?) ? How should this matter at all, when you
have 25000 EGTB accesses. The position has 8 men, after 2 plies, you will not
get any disk accesses. Perhaps I am just confused. Perhaps you confused me, be
specifically mentioning the first 2 plies, which certainly will not have much of
an influence.
