>Now I see. Before I was surprised by seeing very high number of moves that is >generated in one second. Yep, the basic idea in fast programs is to do as much as possible in makemove() and as little as possible in movegen(). So a test like Crafty's Perft could give biased results. Perft generates and makes all legal moves to certain depth and counts the number of resulting positions. In Perft you make all the moves you generate, so fast programs (in normal search) probably have worse results than other programs. >What you said is true also for my program but only for one ply. In all others >all moves that are generated are completely verified and put in special order. You should try to verify the legality only if you make a move. You'd go most likely faster. Severi
