Subject: Some questions about Verified Null-Move Pruning

Author: Uri Blass

1)I do not find in the pseudo code in figure 3 undo null move.

I assume that it should be before if value>=beta and after value=-search(...)
Am I right?

2)What is the value of the research for tactical strength?
Should it help significantly relative to searching to reduced depth when
value>=beta without research (even when we get value that is less than beta).


3)What should be in the research?
I think that only calling search with the original alpha and beta.

My first thought was that I can do it at the end of the search but the problem
is that at this stage I do not know alpha.

Note that in movei I did not use (!verify||depth>1) because I do not do null
move with depth=1 so this condition always happen.
