Yes, I guess that would work, technically. But having a check like that in the alpha-beta and the qsearch is all too often just a waste of time. I would like to solve the problem at the root if possible. Also I don't know what happens to the scores if you just start returning the evaluation with no regards to horizon effects. I'd expect the result returned from a 45 ply search without these cuts to be more exact than a 46 ply search that does the cutting. -S.
