That is something I had not considered sean. Currently my plan is to only
support winboard/uci not command line. So I'm not sure if that along will affect
my choice. But it's still something to consider.

Do you have 2 global board objects? one that search uses, and one that holds the
position in respect to the user? or when starting a new search do you create a
new board and pass a pointer to it?
