That's not what I do. I always generate the moves for _all_ the pieces, do a
presort, and then run alpha-beta-cutoff. I couldn't do the presort with the
concept you mentioned.

What I actually meant in my posting, was a move generator, that takes the moves
from the position before the last move was made, then takes this last move into
consideration, and if it doesn't interfere with the moves for the current piece,
simply reuses the moves from the position before the last move.

Ciao,
