Also I have seen some positions where I fail high on one move and resolve it with another move. Something interesting is going on and I have more time to use... so I use it. The only thing I think about changing is that "don't move while searching moves 2..N" because sometimes I see games where it hurts me (causes me to take the whole hard time window just to search moves 2..N). But it's still in there :) Scott
