[D]r4b1k/4q3/pnbprN1p/8/Pnp5/5R1P/1BB1QPP1/4R1K1 w - - 0 1

Interesting position for which my qsearch kind of blew up ... about 1000 odd
nodes spent in this position while in search (2000 when i tried a qsearch only
search with +/- mate bounds).

Considering the number of forced lines in this position ... I am rethinking on
my limits to the sel search or to be a bit more agressive in my move ordering.
Interestingly , fail hard was a tad bit better for me in this position (though
only slightly) !
Have not tried adding a small qsearch only hashtable ... might influence results
maybe.

Any comments ?

Thanks,
Mridul
