Generally when I think of "sorting out the 'unworthy' lines", I think of forward pruning. The history heuristic is mainly concerned with improving your move ordering (which does help you get more cutoffs and in turn prunes inferior lines), but the history heuristic by itself doesn't get rid of bad lines. The most popular example of forward pruning is null-move pruning. >but my main search seems to be doing ok anyway, it's >the quiescence search that's having problems, with the q search I use biggest >capture, smallest attacker, is there something much better? Are you considering every possible capture? Or are you only considering "good captures"?
