-/// MovePicker::number_of_evasions() simply returns the number of moves in
-/// evasions phase. It is intended to be used in positions where the side to
-/// move is in check, for detecting checkmates or situations where there is
-/// only a single reply to check.
-/// WARNING: It works as long as PH_EVASIONS is the _only_ phase for evasions.
+/// MovePicker class is used to pick one pseudo legal move at a time from the
+/// current position. The most important method is next_move(), which returns a
+/// new pseudo legal move each time it is called, until there are no moves left,
+/// when MOVE_NONE is returned. In order to improve the efficiency of the alpha
+/// beta algorithm, MovePicker attempts to return the moves which are most likely
+/// to get a cut-off first.
