We implement our algorithm and compare it with several state-of-art SAT solvers including Minisat, Ebddres and TTS. We show that with this new heuristic method, our implementation of an OBDD-based satisfiability solver can perform better for selected difficult SAT problems, whose conflict graphs possess a clique-like structure. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-29700-7\_24} \end
