Dr. Hyatt - thank you so much for your reply! I understand the DTS-algorithm much better now and I will definitely take a look at the Cray Blitz FORTRAN source code!

Thank you BB+ for your reply - you have answered my question perfectly! I now think that pointers will do the job!

Hi all.
I am currently trying to implement the Dynamic Tree Splitting (DTS) Algorithm to optimize my chess engine for multiple core processors. What is the data structure of the SPLIT BLOCK? I understand the SPLIT BLOCK must contain move lists, alpha and beta values etc. for each node up to the ...

Thank you User923005 for your reply.
Yes I think I create too many threads for too little processors - I basically create a new thread for most of the nodes of the game tree - for everywhere that the game tree splits. I now think I must try to implement the PV split algorithm with only two threads ...
