This stuff won't work in crafty either of course. And crafty's qsearch is even way more limited than the one from Sjeng. This is not a qsearch issue. You are giving wrong reasons. Please post a time table of your program needing to find tricks at a minute or 3 a move a position versus your 'verification search'. Don't post a search depth table. Search depths is not important here except if you put it against the time you need to get it. I bet your nullmove implementation doesn't even have a bugfix for repetition of moves. >On November 20, 2002 at 16:55:41, Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote: > >>Nullmove in Deep Sjeng uses an algorithm of my own, but I can >>switch it back to other systems easily.
