Subject: A question on Depth reduction?

Author: Gopikrishna

I am doing depth reduction.

if (nextdepth > 2)
{
   if (!Iscapture && !Ispromotion)
     {
         score= eval();
        if (alpha >  score + red_margin[nextdepth])
         nextdepth--;
     }
}

So should I have to do full evaluation or just evaluate the material score and
pawn structure alone? Because if I do full evaluation for each move it would
take plenty of time? Thanks.
