Hi,

remember that a branching factor is highly dependant to the stability of pv
while iterating. A good brute force engine has about 2,5 to 3 (without any
selectivity beside nullmove). But if the pv switches much the branching factor
will increase much.

Thus a stable static eval is a good way to reduce the branching factor.

Greetings Volker
