A buddy wrote the engine Cilian which is based on MT. If I remember right he
improved MT at the top-level by looking at score intervals to determine the best
move. This way he could speed up the search at the cost of not knowing the whole
PV (only best move at the root is known).

On his homepage (http://membres.lycos.fr/milin) click on "Computer Chess -
CILIAN - a MT based searcher" and "Vortrag" to read about his ideas and results.

You also can download the source code, but since it is password protected you
may ask him to get the password.
