Subject: Branching factor too high -- need ideas

Hi -- my program's branching factor on an old IBM notebook
for Win-at-Chess at 1 second per move on is 4.28 solving245/300 positions.

This is too high a branching factor.

(It was calculated by averaging all the timeperply/timeperpreviousply for all
iterations on all problems in the suite.)

What do people do when their branching factor is too high. What kinds of things
best improve the branching factor?

Thanks -- Stuart
