What I register in the first place, dear Czub, is that, no matter what, you get into it and find a reason to treat all of us here as near morons or something of the sort. Sometimes we are bean counters, some times wee do not se certain things you of course saw, some times we believe in statistics instead of intuitive jumps from just one move. Maybe you are right and this move show Gambit is really different, but maybe only show that some extreme settings produces some different kind of moves in a generally speaking "normal" proggram. BTW, I suppose that with belief you mean "speculative" evaluation. Well, I think that in some sense any chess calculation is, in a degree, an speculative evaluation. It is so as much you must stop search lot before the game ends. Any calculation that does not exhaustive is speculative. So, at the end, the real difference could be just different ways to be speculative, different kind of guesses. The quiescent search is in its enterity a kind of disguised guess. It was invented, I believe -sorry, I speculate- by the Spracklen and implemented the first time for micros in sargon II. And if it was not invented by them, someone else did in the same time, 25 years ago in any case. Nothing too new under the sun. Cheers Fernando
