I think the main advantage of Ed's attack tables is that in *most* positions,
they are a good indicator of whether or not a move is good, so they can be used
for very good move ordering. In a minority of positions, they will not search
the best move first, but the time saved in all of the other nodes probably leads
to a positive gain.
