It is a search that tries to drain the shallow tactics out of the search, so that the resulting "quiet" positions can be evaluted safely using an evaluation function that doesn't take into account shallow tactical threats. It is what you use after you run out of search depth. "Extension" are usually used to keep a program from running out of search depth. bruce
