I suggest null move and futility pruning because they are easy to implement and
well documented, and will definitely make the program much stronger at a low
cost.
I do not suggest that by using these two techniques you will create a top
program.
I guess that you already know that the most successful techniques are not
publicly documented. That's the fun of chess programming: do it yourself.
