my opinion:see should probably help you even if you don't use it for qsearch pruning, just for move ordering only. And even if you prune qsearch in the most simple way (see(move)<0) it must prove to be a big win. Do I guess right that those 300 position are WAC test? The idea is that you can't assume anything about improvement see gave you after only running wac or some else "5seconds to go" test. Running the test simply doesn't give you any relevant information, you may only find some bugs, if you get too many bad results. And the fact also is, that with this short time test, how much nodes do you think you can prune? Even with 50% smaller tree thanks to see, will it help you? No, you will search 1 ply deeper and still have bad results. If you want to find the best way to prune qsearch, you will have to try what works best for you, nobody can help you with that.
