Thank you for your reply.

Although the cognitive search is still in an early development stage, it is now
doing two things that no traditional A/B searcher does: 1) it builds an explicit
plan, and 2) it executes the plan.

Plan construction and elaboration should be fairly clear from the sample
narration (recently updated).  The only position search tree nodes generated are
the ones indicated by executing the plan.

Indications of pattern recognition activity, particularly from the GA derived
mate attack move suggester, can be seen in the narrative when an MASMoves
subgoal is elaborated.  No traditional A/B searcher has this, but analogues can
be seen in some historical goal capable experimental programs.

There are no Lisp coroutines; plan exploration is performed recursively, one
subgoal at a time.
