GetClubGame was further improved. The old trick that nomorechess

That "trick", as Sanny calls it, is standard practice in all
decentchessprograms 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.

Yes your technique is good but the way my programmers implemented it
reduced its depth to 2 level deep. So When there is a move with no
Check/ Capture it played the moves with just 2 level depth. and it
lost all the matches it played.

Now it has been removed. And it will be done soon again with better
technique. as current implementation made it play very bad.


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.

Play a few games with Easy & Normal Level & see if it needs Check &
Capture. If yes then it will be again added but this time using a new
method that will not reduce its depth of search.
