I substituted ABC-Search for the usual AB search in MTDf, the straight undiluted
stuff. Look at MTDf, its AB with only one value instead of two. The reason I
switched to dynamic criterions was the fact that generating all legal moves near
the leaf node slows the search down, and the fact that I could get better
information about the need to extend search by minimaxing some select values in
my eval in the AB search I already have to do in IID. You can fix the problem w.
no fixed horizon by introducing a lower limit to the remaining depth, that
switches off the ABC search and goes to straight AB.
