Sort of. It looks simpler than CN search to me, and maybe a little more
human-like. Again, being human-like may be a bad thing in view of the
fact that no one has ever (so far as I know) produced a really good
computer chess program that thinks even slightly like a human does.

Incidentally, I suggest the following helpful metaphor for variable-depth
searches of the kind I proposed: the machine isn't searching each line to
a fixed depth, it's searching each line until it gets bored. Moves that
appear less good bore it more... :-)
