So far I have this :
-Search (PVS ,Null Move pruning ,TT , Check extension ,QS (stand pat & skip SEE<0))
-Evaluation (Tapered ,Safe mobility ,PSQT ,King Safety , Pawn Structure + Hash Table )
-Move ordering (TT,MVV-LVA&SEE , Killers[2] , Relative History[Color][PT][To])
What should the next step/s be ?
What should the next step be ?

Re: What should the next step be ?
Very low hanging fruit that you still have left would be to implement futility pruning and LMR. Both of which can be implemented with only a couple of lines of code.

Re: What should the next step be ?
If you have not already done so, the next step should be to test very thoroughly to ensure that everything is implemented correctly and bug free.
For instance, if your centipawn evaluation does not agree exactly for these four positions:
r3rk2/ppp1q1pp/2n5/5bN1/2B1pP2/Q7/PPP4P/1KR3R1 w - - bm Nxh7+;
2kr3r/pp1q1ppp/5n2/1Nb5/2Pp1B2/7Q/P4PPP/1R3RK1 w - - bm Nxa7+;
1r3rk1/p4ppp/7q/2pP1b2/1nB5/5N2/PP1Q1PPP/2KR3R b - - bm Nxa2+;
1kr3r1/ppp4p/q7/2b1Pp2/5Bn1/2N5/PPP1Q1PP/R3RK2 b - - bm Nxh2+;
then something is broken.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Re: What should the next step be ?
I remember few years ago that if Skipper lost from Fairy Max then there was a serious bug in my engine. (Maybe I should find and restore that old version)
So you can use Fairy max to test your engine.
Misery starts when you try to improve your engine while making your code more complicated.
