Go up one level in this thread


of course also saving the bestscore assignment in that case:

if (val > bestscore)
{
  if( val >= beta )
    return val; // Actually goto return-sequence.
  bestscore = val;
  if(val > alpha)
    alpha = val;
}

or what about improving branch-prediction in some way:

if( val >= beta )
   return val; // Actually goto return-sequence.
if (val > bestscore)
{ // most likely not taken
  bestscore = val;
  if(val > alpha)
    alpha = val;
}
