A suggestion for a new opcode. In EPD, there is (AFAIK) no way of specifying a
bound instead of an exact score. Being able to say "ceb >200" for example would
have two advantages. When running test suites, to save time, I could tell the
program to stop as soon as the solution is found. If it has to stop while
failing high or low, I would like to be able to write the score as a bound
instead of writing it as an exact score using "ce". Also, while I realize that
the purpose of the opcodes is to be able to spit out the search info, I also use
it to define solutions in an EPD test suite. For example I might consider a
position solved if it finds the best move and the score > 200 centipawns. For
that I could use "bm Rxb2; ceb >200;".
