Also I have flag which do 1 reply check in the qsearch function. This means try only the check in no (mate) or 1 move can be done by the side in check. In general this helps great in finding mates but will slow down normal search because the search tree is larger and the checking if a move gives check and/or a 1 reply move is possible takes time!
