In quiescence search, instead of evaluating each capture with SEE first and then sorting you can do the following: 1. score each capture with MVV/LVA either in the move generator or just after generating the captures 2. pick the next capture (it has the highest pickScore) in the loop 3. evaluate capture with SEE to determine its win limit advantage: you save time and only call the SEE when needed drawback: move ordering is not optimal sometimes Alessandro
