>if ( material < ( alpha - (2*pawn))) > return alpha - 1; >if ( material > ( beta + (2*pawn))) > return beta + 1; All well known (and good!) techniques. But can't you just return alpha and beta? Returning alpha results a fail high (>= beta) in previous node so no need for alpha-1. The same goes for returning beta -> it will equal alpha in previous node, which doesn't affect anything. Or then I'm a little tired and missing something, which is quite possible... Severi
