You have created a 1990s program (read: no eval, the 1990s test suite, WAC, and at 1990s equivalent timecontrols). Its no surprise that futility pruning in qsearch works for you, because the futility cut is almost 100% accurate when your maximum positional score is .2 pawns. When you have an eval, and get massive swings due to kingsafety or passed pawns or even mobility, all of a sudden futility pruning will suck for you, no doubt provoking a flood of posts ;) anthony
