As i said in my original post, some things were left out. The part "<... check
if this is indeed a pv node ...>" contains breaks. This is the complete code:
tree->next_status[ply].phase=FIRST_PHASE;
if (tree->hash_move[ply]==0 && do_null && depth>=3*INCPLY) do {
if (ply & 1) {
if (alpha!=root_alpha || beta!=root_beta) break;
}
else {
if (alpha!=-root_beta || beta!=-root_alpha) break;
}
tree->current_move[ply]=0;
value=ABSearch(tree,alpha,beta,wtm,depth-2*INCPLY,ply,DO_NULL);
if (abort_search || tree->stop) return(0);
if (value <= alpha) {
value=ABSearch(tree,-MATE,beta,wtm,depth-2*INCPLY,ply,DO_NULL);
if (abort_search || tree->stop) return(0);
}
else if (value < beta) {
if ((int) tree->pv[ply-1].pathl >= ply)
tree->hash_move[ply]=tree->pv[ply-1].path[ply];
}
else tree->hash_move[ply]=tree->current_move[ply];
tree->last[ply]=tree->last[ply-1];
tree->next_status[ply].phase=FIRST_PHASE;
} while(0);
