Yes, but it is much more expensive because you must do a second null move search whose trans/ref efficiency is probably bad because of the shifted search bounds. Furthermore, the condition of the static evaluation failing high is important. >I thought my idea of first noting that this was a PV move, and then >trying the null-move threat extension only after that was from the >paper. As you can only do a non-zero window null move search somewhere down the PV, this is certainly implied by the paper. =Ernst=
