Hi Peter,

Break time does mean that the test run will be stopped, when calculating a
single Perft ply has used that time or more.

I do not know what you are thinking of. You can see that I am also are counting
mates, which have to be detected first. But indeed, I have a move-generator
which produces fully informed moves (capture, e.p., check, double check,
mate ...). So using that hardly calculated information for to optimize perft is
no cheating. I think, that using a pseudolegal move generator is a trick
instead.
