It would not make sense to me to skip a move for one side if that
one side has lost material.  But everytime I ask the question,
"do we do a null move check *******************only*************** (note
the emphasis :-)  when a side is ahead in material?", I am told repeatedly
that the null move check is done **************everywhere************.  Which
would seem to contradict my question.

If so, why?   If one side drops a rook, are we going to let the other side
make two moves in a row to do a null move check?
