What's the quickest way, that you have found, to see if a capture is loosing, given that you use a pseudo attack structure? Are you just looking to see 1. if capture value is higher then captured piece value then = WIN 2. if captured piece is not protected then = WIN >Personally I doubt it is worth the effort of perfect SEE sorting, but skipping >losers is a win. Everybody (except Vincent Diepeveen) agrees. Maybe it's better to do exact SEE sorting in the main search and faster looser pruning in the QSearch Regards Steve Maughan
