If you use mate threat extension(and if I understand correctly you use it) then I suggest to limit it to the case when the following conditions happens: 1)There is no another extension for the last 2 plies. 2)The side that threats the mate has not a big advantage of more than 2 pawns and it means that the evaluation is better than 2 pawns against the side to move. I hope it can help you. I believe that these ideas also should be productive for real games. Uri
