Hi all,

what is the difference between a Principal Variation Search
and the NegaScout algorithm ?

Everytime I look at them, they seem to do exactly the same
thing, except that NegaScout has a special case if depth > 2,
but because of extensions, you can't use that in a chess program.

So, what *is* the difference ?
