You do not have to generate the pseudomoves all over again. I believe that programmers are usually not very good programmers so they choose to do it because recycling the old ones without bugs is too hard for them or takes too much time that they prefer to invest time in other things because they may get only a small speed improvement from recycling the old moves. >If it is done somewhere: how ?

I do not think that you are an idiot. They are a lot of good ideas that are not used by the top chess programs. This is the main reason that I also chose to make a chess programs in C. My program also does not use today most of my ideas but the problem for me is not thinking about good ideas but explaining them to the computer. I believe that other programmers are better than me in this task but I do not want to discuss about my ideas because I do not like the idea that my program is going to lose a possible advantage relative to other programs.
