Hi,

[D]7k/8/5K2/8/8/8/8/5bQn w -

ARRRRGHH! Maybe this time!


I am generating capture moves and then AB searching.
If a cutoff does not occur, then I generate non-capture moves.
I am coding quick-killer moves into my program.
The queen move to g7 produces checkmate, but since captures
are generated first, the killer move is not at the head of the list.
Should I look at the last killer move and then decide if I
should generate moves before captures?  Or should I just generate
captures and non-captures all at once which would eliminate this
problem all-together?
