Skip evaluate() call after a null move Reuse the evaluation of the parent with inverted sign and set margin to zero (this is an hack!). This is done only in qsearch where almost 15% of calls are from a null move. In normal search the number of nodes where (ss-1)->currentMove == MOVE_NULL is almost zero and so there is no need of using this trick. The big advantage of this patch is a speed-up due to skipped evaluate() calls, that are very costly. Functionality is of course affected and we will need to proper test it later. For now we just register a 3-4% speed up. Suggested by Hongzhi Cheng. bench: 5051328
