This paper introduces the idea of pre-searching a position—searching it before αβ determines that it needs to be searched. Consider the case where an iteration of αβ search comes across a position p that needs to be searched to depth d1, and the transposition table reveals that p will likely need to be searched later in that iteration to depth d2 greater than d1. Pre-searching involves speculat...

When attempts are made to interpret the solid-liquid transition in terms of molecular structure, highly significant information can emerge from phemomena of pre-melting and pre-freezing. Empirically, on approaching the transition between solid and liquid, characteristic parameters of the phase under examination may show an accelerated rate of change, in the sense of a premonition of the change ...
