This patch is the sum of:
- Grainsize of 4 instead of 8
- Removing "depth < DEPTH_ZERO"
- Change DEPTH_QS_RECAPTURES = -5 to -7
All the patches individually failed to pass SPRT but scored
around 50%.
Together they pass easily short TC:
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94)
Total: 4429 W: 964 L: 844 D: 2621
And with some difficult long TC of 60+0.05:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94)
Total: 64133 W: 11968 L: 11532 D: 40633
