Thanks everyone for the reference to LMP. It indeed appears to be essentially the same idea. I do have one question. In LMP, does one make every move and then prune them each individually... or does the whole remainder of the movelist get pruned in one go after a certain point.... or do different implementations do it differently? The former (move by move) might be safer than what I was trying (remainder in one go). I was worrying about missing a good check or something late in the movelist (as another poster also pointed out) and the move by move approach would avoid that, although it would be slower.

Is there a preferred approach?
