Surely each programmer does it his/her own way if they do it at all.  The
questions are "How does Fritz do it?" and same for each and every other
chess-playing program.

If you were the programmer, what would you do?  What seems to be the RIGHT way?
What makes sense?

I'll give my ideas later if someone wants my input, but I'm not a chess
programmer.
