the method worked to come deeper in the tree because you did not have to
compute ALL moves in your own plies.

In the moment many programs used NULLMOVE the method was not
effective anymore because the programs with nullmove came deeper than

from this time, genius did not win anything anymore.

thats the reason the success it had over years stopped.
the others simply outsearched it.
