Subject: Time manageing question:

Author: Nicolas Carrasco

As I have seen on some chess programs they do this time increment:
///////////////////////////////
depth = -1;
while(time () == 3/4)
{
++i;
alphabeta(i,-12000,12000);
}
////////////////////////////////

Here, if we have more time we play with one more depth, for example if we play
up to depth 4 and average of chess moves is 35: 35^4+35^3+35^2+35^1 that means
that if we directly searched with 4 depth we could search a 3.1 %
(aprox.)faster!

what other ideas?

Thanks
