Subject: Limit extensions

Hi,

i'm not sure about the way to limit extensions into the search tree.
I think some code will be easier to understand than my english. Example :

search(int depth,int alpha,int beta...)
{
int base_extended=0, extended;

if(InCheck(side)) {depth++; base_extended+=ONEPLY;}

foreach(move)
   {
   extended=0;

   if(is_pawnn_push_7(move)) {depth++; extended+=ONEPLY;}
   if(is_recapture(move)) {depth++; extended+=ONEPLY;}

   if(extended>ONEPLY) {extended=ONEPLY;}
   if(base_extended+extended>TWOPLY) {extended=0;}

   domove()
   score=-search(...);
   undomove()

   if(extended) {depth-=extended;}
   }
}

Is that right ?

Regards.
