I mean here before the recursive call of the alphabeta.

I do not mean to say that repetition and hash should not be checked before null
move and if I do them before the recursive search then they are done before null
move.

See russell's post when he suggest also to do null move before calling search
that seems to be even better.

should be special and I typed too fast.
