Many years ago there was a track from the Shamen "Ebeneezer Goode" with the immortal line "Backwards and then forwards, forwards and then backwards" which brings us to this week's tip.
In a position with a low evaluation, a different perspective can be achieved by letting an engine run for a while, moving down the line a move and then immediately moving back to the original position.
You would think the engine would go back to it's first choice, but occasionally it does not. Why this is the case is complicated, but it is related to their being a number of near equivalent moves that the engine has to choose between in its search.
