Panchaz,
If you are using alpha beta pruning as an algorithm you should:
Generate *all* the moves available in a certain position
Then you order the moves generally by:
Good capture moves ( moves that capture a piece with greater or equal value )
Regular moves
Bad Captures ( moves that capture a piece with less value )

Alpha Beta will "cut" the search better if you apply some better euristic in the move ordering ehuristic.
