Hello Tord, >Yes, certainly. And I should perhaps have pointed out that I did not >disable what I call "static null move pruning", but only the recursive >null move searches.

This makes the effect of the removal of recursive >null move pruning less dramatic than it otherwise would have been. Is this "static null move pruning" actually doing a null move? It sounds more like a futility-type scheme from your description. Btw, I've spotted a mistake on your web page for Gothmog. It says "on fast computers it is probably good enough to offer the average chess player a good match". Surely it should say "average master..."?! (You do seem very modest about your program!)
