v.2.15.03
Some Progres 
adds what I call "fast SEE"; its a reduced version of SEE, where I only test if the move if a good capture. I tested several ways of SEE. The complete version is too costly. I don't claim to be the creator of this one, I just took the one that gives a little gain. Its also only used in the quiescence search.
now I use an Aspiration Window. Its not a big gain, but it adds. The most difficult part was to find the right margin, and will be modified as long as I improve the evaluation.
lastly, a better time management to take into account for example 40 moves/5 minutes.
and of course, some micro improvements here and there.
I should be a little above 2600. Still a long way to go ...
