It's best thought of as a measure of your move-ordering. So every time the
*first* move you *make* at a node gives you a beta cutoff, increment a counter.
If you get a beta cutoff at the node and it's NOT the first move, increment a
different counter. Then it's (100*firstCounter)/differentCounter, which is the
percentage of your beta cutoffs which occurred on the first move you tried.
