I use null move with R=3 but also extensions for checks
that may be more than one ply in part of the cases and
the qsearch of this version is buggy(in small part of the cases
it return beta instead of returning the right value but that
bug did not prevent it to beat gnuchess in a match
that peter berger did).

I think that the result of the bug in most cases is that
the program needs more nodes to get the same depth but
usually it does not cause stupid mistakes(otherwise
the program had no chance against other programs in chess).

I posted later results of a later version when
I hope that it has less bugs but still seems to have some bugs
because I saw a wrong pv(it seems that there is a mistake
in the pv because the score(mate in 2) was correct but the
second move in the pv was not correct.

If the bug is a bug only in getting the pv in the qsearch
then it is not a big problem but I suspect that there are
other problems based on watching games and evaluation and
I will have to find out.
