Subject: Quiesce Search and checks (accuracy vs speed)

Author: Charles Roberson

   I have been experimenting with various types of moves in qsearch. Obvious
moves to consider are captures, promotions, checks and check evasions. I have
tried qsearch with and without check evasion and it seems a waste to try them.
Captures and promotions are necessary. However, checks are unclear.

   Rudolf Huber told me that most commercial programs consider checking moves in
the qsearch. Does it really make a difference?

   As stated earlier today, qsearch is an accuracy vs speed tradeoff. Does
considering the effect of checking moves make up for the lost speed?
