I understand this. This is why I said 'partly do checks in qsearch' for option B. I am interested in, even if we don't actually handle checks, if there are some cases in which we cannot ignore them. From Remi's comment I understand it IS safe to stand pat in check if you do not try to do full checks in quiescent search. Which is what I do. Currently I forbid the qsearch to be entered with a king that is in check, and then ignore them. I was wondering if there are better ways. -- GCP
