Hi Brian, >What are the pro's and con's of doing null moves "at the root", e.g. after a ply >1 move and then another null move by the same side.

Thus far, Tinker has >only used null moves starting at ply 2 (actually ply 3) moves, e.g, Tinker makes >a move, then opponent replies, then another null move reply. Why do you deem making a null move directly after the first move from the root dangerous or not appropriate? I still wonder what, in particular, "Junior" uses the null-move score for which it seems to calculate for the root node _itself_. Any ideas? Amir? =Ernst=
