So at the root, in the opening position, I play e4. At the third ply of iterative deepening, the program hits the position after 1 e4, e5; 2 Qh5, Bc5; 3 Qxe5. No null move has been played here due to being in check. The program now cycles through the only legal black replies of 3 ... Ne7, 3 ... Be7, 3 ... Kf8, and 3 ... Qe7. Going into this, alpha is -6 from the previous position. None of these moves improves alpha and this value is returned with no best move stored in the hash table. My question is: is this a problem or expected given the position? Stuart
