I don't know if this has been done, probobly has, but here goes anyway. Lets say the computer gets to this position somewhere in it's search. [D]2k2q2/pp4pp/2p5/2p1p3/5n2/1NP4P/PP3PP1/2Q3K1 w - - white to move is ok, but when the search nullmoves, black wins with Ne2+!!. Ok, my idea (and probobly loads of other peoples), is to store this move, Ne2+, since for alot of whites possible moves, Ne2+ still wins the queen. I'm not quite sure how the code would work, or how effective this would be. Maybe you wouldn't want to store it if it were a capture? as they are checked early anyway. You could possibly store it as a killer move? I don't know. If it has already been done, can people tell me how effective it is? if at all. I have heard of mate threat extensions...does that use null move to?
