Subject: Tweak main killer penalty
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0f2df4e4afa37946e02a2b647ff21146e0588af7

Tweak main killer penalty

Apply refuted main killer penalty also on early TT cut-offs. This
makes penalty logic more consistent with the logic at normal search.
