How much should the null move improve a program's performance? It seems to be searching .5 to 1 plies farther, and approx. 2/3 to 3/4 the number of nps. Is this normal? In matches against the non-null move version, it seems to be edging it out by with 6 wins, 4 losses. In a match against Cilian, the null moves actually seem to be doing worse. James
