  In Averno I haven't seen this problem yet. I simply order queen promotion
before other promotions. So if the promoted piece is taken, the different lines
will lead to transpositions and be quickly discarded. In the lines where the
piece is not captured, the line with the queen on the board will yield the best
material score.
  Then I don't understand how this can be a problem is move ordering is correct.
Am I missing anything?
