Like most chess programmers, i've been experimenting with null move ever since i got a basic alpha-beta search working. It seemed to help a little in most mid-game positions. Often it would allow searching a ply or so deeper. Turns out i wasn't doing it right. If you do it right it's much, much better than that. More hints after my program wins something major :-) (I still have to put back in all the stuff i ripped out to get a simple platform for experimentation. Then i have to do some work on the static eval, which has always been weak. But already it's looking good ... )
