Yep, thanks to Rein and congratulations to Damian.

...but i am not sure if an Breadth-First-Search is possible for chess with depths greater seven.

Hate to be the "killjoy" but this is irrelevant for our efforts here. It is totally done on disk which is slow as hell. SSD or HDD doesn't matter much in that regard. It may be good for prooving simple games by going through the state space systematically but no algorithm is mentioned for doing real time search with prunings and other stuff. I read only a summary from a paper extracted from the thesis,so there can be something else in the phd thesis...
