err... I might misunderstood this - but do you have no handling of fail-low in a
fail-high ? I have seen that at least Fritz accepts the fail high always and
only research when another move in the same iteration seems also to be a fail
high - else he switch after having searched all other moves immediately to the
next depth... Is it the same in Crafty ?
