Subject: move lists

Go up one level in this thread


I assume that at least some programs generate a complete move list at every
branch of the tree.  That is my intent at the moment.  (My 1987 program was
kind of dumb in that it only cared about move order at the base of the tree, so
it always generated moves on the fly above the base without keeping a list.)

So I see myself having a big array of moves.  When I generate moves deeper than
the base, I will add them to the array and keep track of where the beginning and
end are for the current depth.

Does anyone else do it this way?  Is this a valid approach?
