Very Selective Search

According to Thorsten Czub, the Constellation Expert used extended pre scan heuristics (PSH) [2] [3]. A sophisticated selective search, dubbed Very Selective Search (VSS), was introduced with the Super Expert and Forte B [4].

Quote

by Larry Kaufman from The Rexchess Story [5] :
The next step forward came when Novag's Dave Kittinger, Don and I jointly worked out how to do an effective selective search program. Dave put these ideas into the Super Expert B and Super Forte B, while Don and I put them into Rex.
