If expectation is the simple one presented on the other page, ... the search tree of the root can have expected-All nodes. [example: node has zero-window search, does not succeed, but still expected-Cut, so has expected-All successors (and due to search instability, may in fact turn out to be Cut, but that’s irrelevant] The expectation used by most engines is [second successor is expected-Cut regardless of first successor (so more confident in move ordering), and if unsuccessful zero-window proof of an expected-Cut then revise to expected-PV] [these two changes don’t have to go hand-in-hand] which collapses not-expected-PV and will-attempt-zero-window-pruning, and there are no expected-All nodes in the search tree of the root! (expected-Cut are either pruned, so we never see their expected-All successors, or become expected-PV)
