What you mean is to use some kind of special matesearch, and if that doesn't gain you anything, use the standard search instead. I doubt that you'd gain much by this for standard chess, but then again, at sufficiently large timecontrols it wouldn't hurt much either. Actually most loser's chess programs already use this technique. There exists a special kind of search called proof number search that is extremely fast in proving mates. -- GCP
