This is Rybka *B*E*T*A*.

Also, it is primarily a "playing" engine, not an analysis one.  There is a big
difference.

You do not give the position so I can't comment too much on this truncation.
There is probably a good reason for it.  But for most chess positions, the long
PV analysis sequence given is worthless after the first few ply anyway.

Reflect on-

"I think one move ahead - but it is always the best move!"
- possibly Charles Jaffe, as reported by Horowitz in All About Chess and maybe
the same thing but a bit differently in How To Think Ahead In Chess.

"How many moves ahead do you calculate variations?"
"Only one. But this move has to be good"
- Richard Reti, as reported by Shashin in Attacking the Queenside.


One ahead is all that is ever needed.
