Go up one level in this thread

Hi!

I forgor to mention that I use the "stand pat" beta cutoffs in qsearch:

if(static_eval>=beta)
   return static_eval);

I'd like to know should I test any mate or stalemate situations before returning
(in those cases the score is totally wrong). Or do I allways make the assumption
that there is at least one legal non capture move available (which is not
obviously tested)?

And is there any idea to try nullmoves in qsearch? Has anyone tried that and
what was the result?
