I am writing my SEE function right now, but I can't seem to fit it into my head when the "piece captures/exchanges" are supposed to stop... I looked at Crafty's Swap code but I am not completely sure how it works... :-( First I thought that the exchange is supposed to stop when the <value of piece Capturing> is greater than <value of piece Being captured>, but I don't think this works for some cases. I also tried doing this: carry out the exchange to the end, at each point recording the difference between <my total captures>-<my opponent total captures> and then have the opponent search for a MIN in this, and then find a MAX before this MIN... This is a bit ugly, and I am not sure if this is correct. In other words, I am thoroughly confused. Could somebody please explain to me in words when the capturing is supposed to stop? I appreciate it. Artem Pyatakov
