Yes, that one caught my eye. I'll probably add something to the parser
to flag up backrounds, queens, and tittums.

I plan to have a go - the tree search code was written to be fairly
flexible, so it's only a case of changing one function that checks
which methods to use next. The 8 lead search only took about 20
minutes (once I'd remembered to get the compiler to optimize things).
