A million kilo of Depleted Uranium, traces of Plutonium and Enriched Uranium
(proven to be in DU shells) in Iraqi desert-dust blown by the spring
"Chamsin" all over Europe goes a long way :(

Thanks for explaining the proof number search. Sounds intriguing.

I had an idea that is perhaps naive but it involves iterative deepening.

You calculate all possible moves 3 or 4 ply ahead and then do a very
thorough analysis of the terminal nodes.
Then you do the same but only on a very smnall number of terminal nodes (10
or so).

You can go extremely deep that way, but I am not sure whether it would be
practical.
