  Not at depth 0, at any depth you want. The static evaluation is tipally
performed at the leaves, this is, at the bottom of the tree, and returned back
towards the root.
  On each "non-leave" node of the tree, you know the evals of all its
successors, so you know what is the eval at that node by maximizing the choice.
 So, static evaluation is the last (tipically) step when "going down" in the
tree, and the first when "going up" towards the root.
  Clear now? I hope so... :)
