Do you mean, as an user or as an engine programmer? As programmer, give some
user interface (UCI has this in the protocol), that marks allowed moves at the
root. Only consider allowed moves in the search loop at the root.

As a user: use the provided Interface :-)

Under Shredder 5 GUI, in Analysis mode, push shift, and at the same time execute
the move, that you disallow. You can repeat this with more moves.

Yace text mode GUI.

type

; eml = "edit move list mode"
eml 1
setb 1k4Bq/6pP/3p2Pb/3P1Pp1/1K4P1/8/8/8 b - - 0 1
ana
; you will see
 1e:   Qxg8   2e:   Qxh7   3e:    Kc8   4e:    Ka8   5e:    Kb7   6e:    Kc7
 7e:    Ka7
; showing, that at the moment all moves are "e"nabled.
; type
4
; to disable move number 4, Ka8. You will see
  1e:   Qxg8   2e:   Qxh7   3e:    Kc8   4d:    Ka8   5e:    Kb7   6e:    Kc7
  7e:    Ka7
; note the d in front of Ka8
; you can repeat this with more moves.
; hit Enter, to show, you are finished with the editing of the move list
; and a search with only the remaining 6 moves will be started.

Cheers,
Dieter
