Any way to get the paper? There are no email addresses there.

Anyway, 3% is consistent with what I have found. The key to MTD (f) is a good
fail soft - ie. dealing with all the "minor" issues, such as failing soft in
quiescence, failing soft on null move, failing soft with lazy eval, failing soft
on hash table hits. Once fail soft works, the choice of driver doesn't seem to
matter much.
