I managed to watch some of the GLC-Movei games as they were played on FICS.  One
of the things I noted was that in the early and middle game, movei was generally
searching a bit deeper than GLC.  Towards the endgame GLC caught up, and as the
position got more and more simple, GLC searched relatively deeper and deeper,
ending about 4 to 6 ply ahead.  I guess this is due to GLC using the hash table
information for cutoffs whereas Movei doesn't do this.

Cheers, Tim.
