(but only with double nullmove, not single) Here is how to use double null move: Use your regular null move every place you are using it now (unless you use it with in check or when zugzwang). When something occurs where you would normally abandon null move, switch to double null move instead. In other words, we will never give it up completely, but (instead) switch to double null move when things get dicey. For sure, it is much better than abandoning it altogether, unless you know for sure it should not be used at all in some particular situation. E.g.: Pieces get thin (pass below some threshold in points) --> instead of turning null move off, switch to double null move.
