The capturing part of it is also called Static Exchange Evaluation, or SEE. Based on the static evaluation the program may decide to use the movegenerator again to look deeper or decide to "back the evalution up", not look deeper and give the score back to moves closer to the root. I believe it is called static but that doesn't mean it doesn't look at moves in that position at all, the program may generate a table for instance that for every square looks how many attackers and defenders there are, so it has a relatively accurate picture of how "safe" a piece on that square will be or is. Well, the programmers will undoubtedly start shooting now if this is completely incorrect..:) Eelco
