Go up one level in this thread

Thanks for the quick responses!

I've already tried some of your suggestions and it works fine.
Another question that I have:
What about Mating scores? If i get a mating score from the TT there is also no
need to continue the search (other than improving the "mating distance"), right?

if (tt_flag == VALID && (tt_merit > -MATE_THRESHOLD || tt_merit <
MATE_THRESHOLD)) return tt_merit;
if (tt_flag == LBOUND && tt_merit > -MATE_THRESHOLD) return tt_merit;
if (tt_flag == UBOUND && tt_merit < MATE_THRESHOLD) return tt_merit;

greets
johannes
