I don't understand the word "cull" - I don't have a dictionary available right now... And what do you mean by "I can generate captures _just_ as quickly as I can generate non-captures"? Are you doing both in the same function, I assume not? I have two functions : gen_captures and gen_non_captures. Of cource gen_captures is the the one which should be fast and I can generate them separately. But this test still gives you some figure on how fast you generate moves - captures or non-captures. It may indeed be that one could make capture generation faster and same time affecting non-capture generation (is this what you meant). In that case this test gives "wrong" result. Severi
