You have it made, then!

Just implement the node-count trick in Movei (tricks are easier than real
programming) and you will get enormous amounts of free advertising.

Very slick, very smooth!

You will be a millionaire very quickly.

You are correct, the ideas are easy ... compared to making them work via
difficult programming.

Unfortunately, like move ordering within a program, it takes a lot of effort
(more thinking) to determine in what order to prioritize and try out (i.e.
program) the ideas.
