In Ed Schröder's web page about chess programming, he says he uses the "Historic Mate Killer", in other words an history heuristic wich considers only moves with a mate score. Is seems to me that this scheme should have little benefit in the openging and middle game phases, because here it is dificult to reach mating moves. In the endgame that would be a different story I think. Why doesn't he use a normal history heuristic in all phases? Any comments on this? Regards, Alvaro Cardoso
