From the root. The perfect search (except for the best move) goes like this:

odd - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (all moves searched) (no beta cut-off)
even - x (beta cut-off) (only one move searched)
odd - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (all moves searched) (no beta cut-off)
even - x (beta cut-off) (only one move searched)

etc.


No, I don't get this. The odd plies (except for the root) have beta cutoffs too, right? It just depends on where the sub-tree branched from the PV. Not how far it is from the root. E.g. after

ply-1: e2-e4
ply-2: a7-a6

every odd ply starting from ply-3 will be a beta cutoff, and every even ply an all-node.

I said: The perfect search (except for the best move) ....

To emphasize how a well ordered search behaves resulting in more odd-ply-moves to store in the HT.

Besides, in your example (1.e4 a6) logically considering (1.e4 e5) already has been searched no single ply-3 move will give a beta-cut-off.
