Go up one level in this thread


Are you saying I should consider marking each move after its search, then
back up the score value, node count, etc., then resort based on that?

I could see that various parts of the subtree have generated new history
heuristic scores for from/to move coordinate pairs and that a resort could
affect the remaining move order.

I don't currently resort at any level after the movegen at that level.
I just search all the moves in the original post-movegen-sort-order.

I am fine with considering doing continual resorts but worry about the
overhead and the return. But with it being the all important move-ordering,
what have you seen in doing these resorts in terms of improvement
