The moves skiped.......
Anyway, are you acord with me that you are doing extra work right?
you can get the same effect without an aditional call to quiesce.
forget my futility prunning for captures and non captures if that is confusing
you, do the way you wish or were doing before. The only additional thing that
your qsearch adds is the if eval()>=beta+window then return beta, nothing more.
bye bye bye.
