Hi Geoff,

For your info... :-)

I don't use SEE to order moves anywhere... just MVVLVA.
In qsearch, I gen all moves when in check, otherwise, only captures/promotions.
In the qsearch move loop I use SEE to prune caps < 0 but _ONLY_ when sidetomove
is not in check... so that mate detection doesn't goes haywire.
In 1st ply of qsearch I gen additional moves that GIVE check when all
captures/promotions have failed to exceed beta...

HTH,

Ross
