There is also the slow+dumb school of chess programming, which is
the one Glaurung adheres to, and the one most likely to bring success
for the less talented and ambitious programmers among us.  The point
is that the nodes/second ratio is nowhere near as important as the
bugs/second ratio.  The easiest way to minimize the number of bugs
is to keep everything simple, stupid and slow, and not to give in to the
temptation of adding tricky speed optimisations or complicated chess
knowledge.
