I remember karinsdad said that he decided to generate only legal moves because
he cannot use ideas like the single reply extension if he generate illegal
moves.

I have another question.
Did people try to compare between the 2 options before deciding to generate
illegal moves and if the answer is positive what was the result of the
comparison.

Is the legal move generator slower in solving test positions(assuming no special
extensions like single reply extension) and how much slower?
