Re: Fairy-Max 5.0a released
I am not sure what you are asking. The bare-King mating is done by detecting there is a bare King in the root, multiplying its piece-square table by a factor (1 + reversiblePlyCounter/10) compared to the other pieces, and replacing the PST of all pieces by one that penalizes the adjacent two corners whenever the bare King steps onto a corner square. And by using a search without extensions or reductions, (and certainly no null move), except for extending those moves that step a bare King out of the corner by two ply.
