Subject: YACE extensions?!?

I came across the YACE web site the other day (http://home1.stofanet.dk/Moq/).
Interestingly it explains some of the search techniques employed by YACE.

One that I haven't come across before is explained as follows:

"ALL_MOVES_IN_CHECK: When set, and a capture checks the opponent, essentially
one non capture search will be done. This will need a bit more time, but will
find mates earlier."

Any idea what's meant?  My guess is that when a capturing move also gives check
extend the search.
