Yes, I used it together w. MTD(f), to lessen the number of re-searches. Now I
use a similar method w. MTD(f) based on dynamic criteria that I glean from my
IID search, instead of the 'objective' measure of number of moves. There is an
overhead in generating the number of legal moves in a position. If you do that
in nodes leading to Leaf nodes you will find it slowing your search
considerably, and you can not be certain if they are or not in ABC-Search.
