That wasn't my point.  Mike or someone said the adapter sends a "new" command
for each move.  that will (a) kill any pondering;  (b) clear the hash table
before each move making it impossible to pass things along from one search to
another;  (c) slow the search by clearing the pawn hash, making it necessary to
do lots of extra pawn evaluations;  etc...
