Go up one level in this thread

>What is Swabbing?(is it SEE value)

Yes.

>I guess MAX_HISTORY is the maximal value of history tables.

Yes.

>What is ENDING() and M_CAPTURE(?

ENDING is macro to detect endgame. SmarThink uses assymmetric endgame detector,
i.e. BLACK can be "in endgame" and WHITE "in middlegame" :) It depends of
opponent material.

M_CAPTURE(m) - returns piece captured by move m, 0 if it's not capture.

>What are the moves in the array ThreatMove[?

I described it before (in same-threat extension description). It's move that
caused null-move search to fail, i.e. it's a current threatening move. For
example if our queen is under attack than ThreatMove[ply] will be queen capture
(in most cases).
