I am not sure if this was mentioned or thought of before but here is my thinking:

A lot of noise comes from "luck".

Let say A has a dominant position with .85 lead.
B found a way to capture a knight. A would have found this and possibly prevent this if it looked just 1 ply more.
B eventually won the game...even though A had a dominant position and a better eval.

So my idea is this:
If B sees a huge eval swing (B can capture a piece) then instead of playing this move it will pick the 2nd best move only if the 2nd move is close to the initial eval.

This will help eliminate "luck"/noise.

Any thoughts on my logic?
