I suppose some programs have a more fine-grained approach to this.
Tiger for example divides the game into several "phases" (more than 3 for sure
:) according to the material on the board, and different evals
(/extensions/pruning/...?) are fired off according to the phase the program is
in.
In the DOS version, it would show "Phase x/y"; in Rebel Tiger, the best way to
see it is when the eval suddenly jumps from like "+1.10" to "+0.20" (or vice
versa) after a capture has occurred. (Contrary to Fritz, this is _not_ due to
any preprocessor oddities. :)
