Subject: Remove artificial Iteration >= 3 constraint on time manager
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5405efabcbd1b60f64a5d88b596178dcf92e98e4;p=stockfish

Remove artificial Iteration >= 3 constraint on time manager

It doesn't seem to have any meaning.

Also add a FIXME on the MaxNodes condition that now is broken
in SMP case due to known issue with pos.nodes_searched()

No functional change.
