Subject: a question about redesigning my alphabeta

Author: Uri Blass

I redesign my alphabeta and I think to start my alphabeta by trying null move
because checking for repetition or for hash cut off can be done at the end of
alpha beta.

When I look at Crafty's code I see that Crafty starts not with null move but
with checking for repetition and hash.

My question is if there is a soecial reason that I do not understand that Crafty
does it.
It seems to me a waste of time to call alphabeta with all the parameters when it
can be avoided.
