How does this method compare with the usual alternatives:
1) sorting by estimated best move first (almost everyone does it this way)
2) sorting my longest time last iteration first (seems closely related to your idea)

Here is the numerical version of the same thing

Hello OpenChess Folk!

This is my first post here, so I won't include images or links which might make the system think I'm spamming : )
I have a background in front-end programming, but little experience yet in working with chess.

Is there any existing application that shows the "heat map" of a ...

Bad move ordering will make the search take much longer, but eventually it should get the right answer.
Do you have a quiescence function? Sometimes bad moves are made when a quiescent search would have shown that the move fails due to a simple chain of captures.

A good thing to do to debug your ...

You need a cross compiler to do it.

An incredible effort, with massive thanks to Ronald de Man for the tablebase code and to Bojun Guo for performing the calculations on his titanic machine for five straight months.
