I don't understand why you only have to test if the king is in check if you must evaluate a position. I do something like this: search(...) if depth is 0, return eval() generate pseudo-legal moves for each move make the move if the king is in check undo the move go to the next move move found = true score = -search(...) undo move if score >= beta, return beta if score > alpha, alpha = score if !move found if in check, return mate score else, return draw score return alpha How do you do it without having to check if every move leaves the king in check?
