Subject: When would you use a Null Move Search?

Hi all,

I understand the basic concepts of a null move search, however, what I do not
quite understand is when in a chess program would it be used. Would you use it
just after non-quiescent searches, specific cases of nq searches (e.g. checks or
piece takes), or in other areas of the tree?

Do you use it just to find bad moves or is there a way to find good moves with
it as well?

And when you use it, how extensively do you search with it?

Thanks in advance,

KarinsDad
