Looks like I'm bad at hyper bullet chess. Last time I wasn't even able to finish a KQk endgame with say 5 seconds left on the clock.
Might be I have a slow internet connection. Or maybe it needs lots of practice.

Same holds for bullet chess.

The more ELO the better.

You can post your shortest games here. Would be even more fun if they are less than ten moves.

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 in...

QPerft extracted from my QSearch code was about 350 lines of code. So I can't publish it here.
Giving same results by the way after similar modifications that is generate ALL legal moves when in check.

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 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 numb...

Henk, With only captures and promotions (and check evasions) I get on kiwipete: Depth 4 = 3690 Depth 5 = 25347 So my numbers are different, maybe something wrong with your enpassant captures? Of course there is a possibility that my perft() is in error, but I doubt it. Now I get: Depth 4 = 3622 Dep...
