Yes, up to this level and dissassembly does. But if you really want to know the
function of this code, IDA-Pro helps a lot. One of the few pieces of software I
am really impressed. It took me 5 minutes to spot the search code in Rybka and
after 1 hour I could read this part as
val=-QuiesenceSearch()
UndoMove()
if(val>bestval) { bestval=val; }
if(val>alpha) { alpha=val; }
if(val>=beta) { return val; }
Well, and then you know it can't be MTD(), because MTD uses a Zero-width window
and the update of alpha makes in MTD no sence. Actually, beta (or alpha) is not
necessary at all.
