Yes, I know :-)

Actually, Enhanced Transposition Cutoffs and some thinking about "what can I do
(cheap and fast) to avoid searching moves" gave me the idea to this draw test.

To be honest, I've never tried Enhanced Transposition Cutoffs. I might do now,
because these two things are really very similar. I guess, they might complement
each other, because you might find draws, which are not (yet) in the
transposition table.


Greetings,

Heiko.
