If it is <= -mate_in_100 I extended. I other words, every time that a side is threatened with checkmate I extended. I just made my search huge in one position I tried. I think that it could be useful in tactical situations but using fractional extensions (that I did not implement it yet) to limit it. I think that "Attack" extensions will increase the tree too much unless is very much controlled doing it with a very low fraction. I will be very interested too in hearing comments and learn about this. Regards, Miguel
