Project mention: How does Depth actually work? | /r/chess | 2023-05-24

Yes, that is true. One can use NNs in either evaluation or heuristics or both - to my understanding, I haven't researched this that much. But yes what you say would fall under the heuristics category that mainly drives move ordering, better looking moves first. As the search is ultimately a depth first in basically every engine. If you are curious, allow me the shameless plug, you can check out my engine @ https://github.com/phaul/chess-2 I'm happy to answer you anything else about the engine, I love talking about this stuff :)
