I know what you mean, but castling into or through check isn't a legal move and shouldn't show up in your list of possible moves.

Right, although I didn't mean castling into check. I meant tempting a greedy algorithm by throwing away a high value piece (which was always a weakness of early chess machines), although I realize the tree search would spot that.

Also now that I'm awake, read the article fully now.

Very cool, makes me want to try building one!
