Subject: Exiting a when out of time

Author: William Bryant

Date: 18:39:50 02/05/99


My program play abnormal moves when I try to exit the search when the alloted
search time is over.

I check for time at the start of search (but not in search_root() and not in the
QSearch),
When this iteration of search exits with a score of zero, I break from searching
any further moves or from any further updating of the PV.  The search should
still return the best move previously found prior to
time being flagged, shouldn't it?

Any help with placement of time code in the search would be helpful.
