Because >I do not use a SEE I am not entirely certain that a MVV/LVA capture is indeed >"losing"... the opponent's piece may be hung and no recapture occur. I think there is no point in trying "probably" losing captures before other moves. It is _much_ slower to first try these losing ones and probably not get a cutoff than to try first the moves which probably could cause a cutoff. There is probably something wrong in your PVS. Could you post the function you are using (or a simplified skeleton if you don't want to publish code). You could fin a bug there. Severi
