This is an artefact of the information he is outputting, rather than his approach to search. I'd agree with Dave; it looks like he's using MTD(f), and his driver is moving the guess up and down in small steps - this is very much like what the example on Aske Plaat's web page does. Notice that he is using the final score from the previous iteration for his first guess (f). Andrew
