In Zugzwang postions like >pawn endgames, it might be a mistake all in all. "Selective Depth-First Search Methods" By Yngvi Bjornsson and Tony Marsland Tried various values for a tempo. 10 centipawns, 20 centipawns, and variable from 16-24 centipawns. The 16-24 centipawn variable value did best. As you know, in Zugzwang positions, a tempo is worth a lot [up to about 32766 centipawns if you are Zugzwang lost. ;-)].
