• When the program is unable to escape a lethal move but can be temporarily avoided using delaying tactics
  • Suppose the lethal move occurs within depth 6 ply and player has a search where the lethal move was avoided at 8 ply
  • The move is said to be pushed "over the horizon"
  • Delay tactics would be used by player and eventually the lethal move would still be executed possibly at a greater cost from the use of delay

• Singular extensions
  • Moves that are clearly better would be computed past the cut off depth
  • Trees would be deeper but the loss would be more likely to be discovered
  • In practice, there are few singular extension and the cost is usually not too high
