I don't think so. See http://www.zib.de/reinefeld/bib/83icca.pdf
To me the unique thing about Negascout is to avoid those reasearches that
initially returned scores out of bounds close to the leaf. Of course, I think
that Negascout will not work in most chess engines (which use pruning,
extensions, qsearch, etc.) but only in a fixed depth environment.
