int Quies(int alpha, int beta)
{
if (InCheck()) // check detection part
return AlphaBeta(1, alpha, beta);
val = Evaluate();
if (val >= beta)
return beta;
if (val > alpha)
alpha = val;
GenerateGoodCaptures();
while (CapturesLeft()) {
MakeNextCapture();
val = -Quies(-beta, -alpha);
UnmakeMove();
if (val >= beta)
return beta;
if (val > alpha)
alpha = val;
}
return alpha;
}
This code came from http://www.seanet.com/~brucemo/topics/quiescent.htm
He said that "This version will find mates in quiescence if they involve
captures. Which version to use is a matter of taste and testing."
I thought check detection is compulsory not optional.
How does it work without check detection in qsearch?
