I try something similar: if I have 2 consecutive captures and the 2nd one leads
the score back into the current alpha-beta window (+/- some tolerance), then I
extend by one ply. This is done independently on the destination squares of the
2 capture moves. Thus in my case, one side capturing a bishop and the other side
"recapturing" a knight on some other place of the board is regarded as a
recapture.
