Hi,

Please say me (to be sure) what says abreviation IMHO ?

Also, probably, you want to say that when you find on the next ply that king was
taken you cancel the move? Something equal to say that mate took place. Right?

Don't be surprise about my questions. I found many time in my programming that
my guessing was wrong.
