suggested is not working as it lost 5/5 games. It lost to stykumb who
was unable to win earlier. So that improvement has been removed.

That "trick", as Sanny calls it, is standard practice in all
decent chess programs since the middle ages; whenever
there is a check or a capture, the search is deepened
until a quiet position is reached (or at least until a certain
cutoff depth) to enable more accurate calculation of
exchanges and mating attacks.

Implemented *correctly*, this technique I would expect
adds hundreds of rating points worth in tactical strength;
done wrong, it is impossible to determine the potential
damage. You see, unlike stupidity, genius has its
limits.
