I know that he is using null move but I do not use null move when I search the
line that is in the previous pv because I consider it a waste of time.

Null move is for prunning illogical lines.

The pv cannot be illogical line so the only case when I can save nodes by null
move pruning when I am in a pv line is when the position is zugzwang.
In other words I can save nodes only if null move pruning is wrong.

I understood that MTD says that the pv may be wrong but the first ply of the pv
is always right so it does not make sense to prune after Nc6.
