If null-move is so beuatiful and works so effective and without overseeing important stuff, and gives more depth , why do you think is rebel and mchess and hiarcs not using it ? How can rebel9 and hiarcs6 lead the ssdf-list without null-move? (IF they don't use it - we have no evidence, or ?). Could we discuss null move, or is null move so SURE that we don't have to discuss it ? And if it is so sure, why the hell don't they use it ?!!? I would like to learn from you about null-move. How far can we trust it. And despite trust, which negative effects can cause ed/marty/mark not to use it (IF they don't use it - I am only quoting you).
