I am working on the mobility score for my engine and I began to think about what should happen to this score when say the side to move is in check.
At this point I am "assuming" that no adjustment should be made?
A king check and mobility are not related?
Yet the side to move may have only a handful of legal moves or maybe only one. Does that fact "change" what should be used for a mobility score? Is mobility and a king check related in any way?
Any thoughts?

Re: Mobility score and the side to move is in check?
Evaluation generally used to score end-leaf nodes. When the side to move is in check it is not recomended to terminate search immediately.
