Hi, I have several questions: 1) How do you order your moves to get as much cutoffs as possible (more than methods - captures,PV,killers... I'm interested in their "order of importence" - i.e. which one goes 1st,2nd ....) 2) Is there any common measure of performance of chess program? Well, nodes per second(NPS) say nothing about numbers of cutoffs and on the other hand serching depth(SD) is dependent on the state of game(in endgame it's usually much greater...), so it seems reasonable to introduce measure NPS*SD (or some other formula which gets together these values) which could be more general and can better show performance rather than pure speed. Note: By performance I DON'T mean its strength (no ELOs) Thank you in advice for comments and answers. Jan Pernicka
