WildCat's search relies on PVS and null move pruning with verification search, late move reductions, and futility pruning and razoring at frontier nodes. Move ordering is applied by killer- and history heuristic - history table indexed by piece-type and target square, IID and SEE. WildCat keeps two best moves in the transposition table, and considers checks at the first ply of the quiescence search .|| toc =Tournament Play= So far, WildCat played the CCT5 and CCT6 CCT Tournaments, and was winner of the CCCCISC 2008, the first Computer Chess Championship of CIS Countries.
