The updated search is a very nice read. Would you be willing to share some of your thoughts on the search changes and your plans for the future? I'm especially interested in the decision to do a full evaluation at every node, the new futility matrix, and the blocking moves pruning condition in qsearch. Open source is great, but I really love hearing the perspectives of authors and the ideas behind the code.


I can make an educated guess.

Having the full evaluation available at every node, if it can be done without a big performance impact (for example by restructuring the search) allows a multitude of extra pruning techniques to be tried.

I'm guessing they are currently trying to find the optimal parameters for those techniques, and I'd expect the next version to take a big leap.
