It could lead to terrible mistakes otherwise, as
it happened during a game on playchess when on
this position (after white's f4):
2q4r/4b1k1/p3rpp1/3np2p/PpNpNP1P/1P1P2PQ/2P1R3/4R1K1 b - - 0 1
SF moves immediately e5xf4 instead of the correct f5.
In general during engine matches it is impossible the
opponent leaves a piece hanging or anyhow starts a
clear losing sequence. So avoid to fall in subtle traps.
No functional change.
