Harry Nelson (cray blitz team member) did so around 1984 or so when he noticed the parallel search issue of a move near the end of the move list becoming best on the next iteration, if there was time. He was a big "problem solver" rather than a "chess game player" and was looking for things that would help solve problems quicker. This idea also applied well to real games also so we adopted it and I continued to do so in Crafty... But it was 100% Harry Nelson...
