Yes that is one advantage to a dedicated in-check generator, but the frequency of illegal moves in such a position is usually quite high so it's a good investment in any case, IMO. >While with your type of legal move generation, the first move I try might be >indeed singular, but I dont know that yet since I falsely believe I have two >legal moves. I think the conventional keyword in this case is a one-reply extension, a singular move usually means that one move is better than the others by some margin. Of course one-reply could fit into that category, YMMV :) >This is of course far less relevant if I do singular extensions or something >such which , of course, produces its own overhead > >Georg -S.
