Hello!
Indeed, I posted some time here ago. Seems like I've got problems with my
QSearch() but I cannot find them.
Here's an output of the starting position where nodes/qnodes are differed:

234257 nodes, 81 seconds.
q-nodes: 2488382        evals: 2488382
value: 19
my move: g1f3
principal variation: g1f3 e7e6 b1c3 g8f6 e2e4 d7d5 e4e5 f6g4

My nodes look kind of ok for depth 8, but the q-nodes don't :-)
Perhaps someone got an idea how to improve my QSearch()? I am doing MVV/LVA and
some sort of history heuristic (moves which lead to a beta-cutoff are given 1
point bonus).
Thanks for any suggestions ;-)
Steffen
