I was fairly simple... I did just what I said in the previous post:  I
simply used the values returned (at the root) for each move at one
iteration to sort them for the next iteration.  This seemed to be an
improvement over using the same scheme (hash, winning captures, killer,
history) that I use at all other nodes.

I didn't actually expect that it would work all that well, but the fail-soft
values returned by my search apparently were reasonable.  Please read my
above response to myself to see that I have come down to earth a little
about how great this is.
