It wouldn't surprise me if I have equivalents of the above code scattered
around in my program (it has happened before), but it is not intentional.
Right now, the first line in my search() function is:

  lbound = (Ply&1)? -RootUpperBound : RootLowerBound;

I promise:  I won't be there.  :-)

Gothmog has only played one season, in Division 3.  On average, it crashed
in about one game in each four-game match, and lost most of the others.  It
was lucky not to be demoted to Division 2 or to be disqualified from the
tournament.  How you can describe this as "racing up to Leo's Premier
League" is hard to understand.

Also, BigLion, playing in Division 4, still has a long way to go before
ending up in Division 6.  I haven't been very lucky with my bets lately,
but I am willing to bet another beer that it is never going to happen.
