I don't think it's worth the trouble for several reasons - The board can change a lot in 2 moves. Keeping track or finding the changes might cost more than just call generate - 90% of the calls to movegeneration are capture moves only, so not that many moves to reuse - Generate moves (either capture or noncapture) should hardly show up with profiling. If it does you're either generating them wrong, or you don't have an evaluation function yet. cheers, Tony
