After unmake move ( );
If (fin recherche)
Return 0;
I return the current alpha in case of termination by hitting the time limit, so that the incomplete node will never cause cutoff or be selected as a PV.

I think you should use the flag also for not updating tables, otherwise you fill it with wrong values. e.g. don't save results in transposition table after the timeout.
