hi david,

ah, i see, i thought you had some theory why that should be better. my SEE is
rather inaccurate, and i found that other (simpler) move ordering schemes work
better during normal search than trusting my SEE values. i suppose that it has
something to do with my inaccurate SEE though, i don't detect x-ray attacks :-(
