It seems to me that there are two typos in the following code:

{
   if (remaining_depth > 2
      && king_not_in_check
      && move_is_no_capture
      && move_is_not_giving_a_check) then
       { if (ALPHA < SCORE + MARGIN) reduce depth with 1 }
}

1) king_not_in_check <=> move_is_not_giving_a_check
2) instead of

       ALPHA < SCORE + MARGIN

   it should be

       ALPHA > SCORE + MARGIN

   since this is equivalent to

       SCORE < ALPHA - MARGIN


Ed?
