It just means that even if there haven't been a capture or anything, I probe the first two plys if there are just <= 5 pieces on the board. I guess there is no reason to, if I have all 3-5 man tables. If there is <= 5 pieces on the board, there _will_ be a hit at ply 1, and if not, there will only be a hit at ply 2 if the move from 1 to 2 was a capture, which I already test for. > How should this matter at all, when you >have 25000 EGTB accesses.

In this case, it was not relevant. >Perhaps you confused me, be >specifically mentioning the first 2 plies, which certainly will not have much of >an influence. > Sure. /David
