test positions eventually? Or is there some null-move/lmr/other things to prevent finding solution even with "infinite" time?

I believe graph history interaction might mess up the analysis of some positions that require lots of irreversible moves. That's the only source of trouble I can think of.

I guess there are positions that top engines cannot solve regardless of time.Jouni wrote:test positions eventually? Or is there some null-move/lmr/other things to prevent finding solution even with "infinite" time?
Even with no reductions they are not designed to search infinite depth.

Only do alpha beta search and Quiescence Search and nothing more. No Transposition Table, null move etcetera.
