Go up one level in this thread

Thanks Andrew.

That explains a _lot_.

I was contemplating replacing my quiescent search with some kind of function
(which I thought before was a SEE) which took potential captures into
consideration, and returned an estimated material score which I could then
hopefully use for some extra pruning (something like if score + MARGIN then
<blah>).

I wonder if anyone would be so confident with their SEE evaluations (amongst
other things, since as you mentioned the SEE is not all powerful) that they
could simply ditch the quiescent search altogether?

Regards,

Joel
