Go up one level in this thread


I would think you would want to try the killer moves before even generating
captures and non-captures (assuming you already have the killer move, of
course).  Then just keep it simple with a MVV/LVA move ordering, which will
place captures before non-captures (count pawn promotion as a capture too).
Later do the same with hash moves first, then killers, then generate and so on.
Each program uses a different set of algorithims, and you will just have to
experiment with your mix.
