Hi Mathieu,

I suggest that you stop worrying about the branching factor until you have
implemented a qsearch() function and a slightly less rudimentary evaluation
function.  A material-only eval without a qsearch will result in all sorts
of weird search results, and I don't think you can make any interesting
conclusions by observing the branching factor.
