I am already trying captures first These ideas are being used after all captures are tried, winning and losing. First idea: The similarity between this idea and killers, is only of keeping a list of two moves per ply. These moves are going to be played DEAD LAST. So these aren't getting played before capture moves. Second idea: These moves get played toward the end of the search, after all winning and losing captures. The scores for these moves are < even_exchange - queen_val For instance, an even exchange would get a score of 10000 for move ordering, while a winning exchange would be 10000 + mat_gain. The ordering I'm using is simply the change of the positional value of the piece. So the score is the difference between the piece's value on it's destination square, and it's origin square. These numbers are < 10000-queen_val. Does this make sense now? Matt
