This is a mistake because if there is a fail low it is better to use more time aqnd there are cases when it is better not to use time for your move(if there is a single move). If the search >notices that the time has ran out, the search is stopped an beta is returned. Why do you return beta? I >think this is the correct thing to do. No It is not. Your engine should play the best move that it found and not a move that it considers. I see no reason to return beta when you have no idea about the score. Uri
