Get the best move from alpha-beta

[andypandy]

How do you get the best move from alpha-beta, instead of just a score?

Hi,
You can download my pascal program and see how I do it from ltchess.weebly.com
This is based on the classic triangular array that David Levy describes in "How computers play chess"

Or generate the moves at the root of the position and then call search to give a value to each of these moves. Then you know the move that gives the best score.
