- // move ordering. The reason is probably that in a position with a winning
- // capture, capturing a more valuable (but sufficiently defended) piece
- // first usually doesn't hurt. The opponent will have to recapture, and
- // the hanging piece will still be hanging (except in the unusual cases
- // where it is possible to recapture with the hanging piece). Exchanging
- // big pieces before capturing a hanging piece probably helps to reduce
- // the subtree size.
- // In main search we want to push captures with negative SEE values to the
- // badCaptures[] array, but instead of doing it now we delay until the move
- // has been picked up in pick_move_from_list(). This way we save some SEE
- // calls in case we get a cutoff.
