Subject: A notion about EGTB probes

Author: Dann Corbit

Why not probe memory-resident bitbase EGTB files for every non-pv node and
Nalimov (or other advanced EGTB) probes for every pv node?

If it is not a PV node, then we don't really care what the move to make is.  And
if we get a fail high on a bitbase probe, it will get researched as a PV node
anyway.

It seems like it would cut EGTB probes to 1/30 or so of probing all the time,
and the probes would always be where they are needed the most.

Have others already tried this?
