Subject: Remove an useless comparison in futility pruning
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=11491e71eedf75763f0adf3136344fe3a244a06e

Remove an useless comparison in futility pruning

Currently futility is allowed when depth < SelectiveDepth
and SelectiveDepth is 7*OnePly, so the comprison is
always true.

Patch could introduce a functional change only if
we choose to increase SelectiveDepth.

Currently no functional change.
