Sorry for my last empty message.

I do not understand why?

Is there a reason that brure force is better for tactics and selective search
better for games.

I found that more pruning did movei better in games and worse in test suites
but I do not think that there should be some general rule that selective search
is better for games.

basically all programs are based on brute force+prunings and extensions and
I do not understand what is brute force module and selective search module.

if null move pruning is considered as selective search then it helps programs to
be better in test suites.
