My (not chess) playing software searches fine.. or so it seems, when I have an "extend on capture" setting of 0 ply, 1/3 ply, 1/2 ply, etc. But if I set it to 1 ply, I occasionally hit a position where boom! there goes the stack. I am wondering if this is endemic to extending by a full ply or not. (e.g. maybe I am hitting a repetition? I am not currently detecting those.) But it could just be that I have buggy software! If anyone has noticed this behavior in their software, I'd like to hear about what caused it. FYI, I am using mtd(f), and a "material-only" evaluation function, that is, very coarse. Dave Gomboc
