If you added null-move to Junior, you might see zero improvement, or null-move might actually get in the way of other techniques. Obviously the improvement is either very small or there is none, or else I imagine it would be a part of Junior. So are we talking about... 1. Programs that use null-move forward pruning and no other form of forward pruning. vs. 2. The same program will null-move turned off. ? Russell
