Maybe I only do check evasions above some depth. Say -6. I don't have repetition detection in QSearch. If most are captures then I think not many repetitions will occur or not? By the way with check evasions I get same problem with futility pruning in QSearch as in normal Search on depth = 1. For i...

I think the difference is due to the fact that you don't generate check-evasions, because check-evasions will contain non captures too. So you have to generate evasions when the king is in check. You have to do this in quiescence too, otherwise your quiescence will make very big errors. Do you have...

These are the counts I get per move at depth 4, maybe it helps. g2h3: 381 d5e6: 436 e5g6: 495 e5d7: 642 e5f7: 475 e2a6: 343 f3h3: 397 f3f6: 521 Maybe somebody else can verify these numbers. I think the difference is due to the fact that you don't generate check-evasions, because check-evasions will...

I guess you already know the bitboard value of say square e5 by heart. I remember h1 being 128. By the way when doing check evasion is it allowed to stand pat that is doing no moves when in check? I also don't understand futility pruning. Say at depth 1 it prunes a move that gives check while openi...

I get the same number as you : I'm happy to know that our numbers are the same. Henk is not generating check-evasions and that causes the difference. By the way is doing check evasions in QSearch an elo gain? Maybe I should implement them too if I have time. At this moment I don't call QSearch in n...

You really have to generate check-evasions when the king is in check (blocking moves and king moves to get out of check) if you want to be correct. Unfortunately I have to modify my code if I want to do it your way (to check if the king is captured), so it is not straightforward to compare our numbe...
