This seems like a horrible drop (and isn't worth >it, as my program misses even simple tactics with checks in them), is this >normaly? Yes I even did not try to do it and I know that even extending 1 ply for every capture recapture is very bad idea. There are a lot of illogical captures and extending 1 ply for every capture means also searching illogical lines 1.e4 Nf6 Qh5 Nxh5 is going to be extended. It is better if you start with extending one ply only for checks. Uri
