Subject: q-search question

Author: Landon Rabern

Date: 09:03:10 07/19/00

I have been discarding all captures where attackervalue>DefenderValue in my
q-search which speeds it up significantly, but I know that it is throwing away
some captures that are good.  So I implemented a SEE function.  The SEE returns
the correct value on tests I have run.  When I put this into my program so that
if (attackervalue>DefenderValue)&&(SEE>=0) I keep the move as well, I got worse
results on the WAC test suite.  Before I put the see in I got 270/300 at 60
seconds per move and after I got 257/300 at 60 seconds per move.

Is it just that there are no capture sequences in this test that need the extra
captures, or is there something wrong with my SEE function?

Thanks for any help,
