Subject: Use increased LMR horizont also in PV search
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=15eb59683ed00a4b1fba9eec609f0e1ce2442b79;hp=620cfbb6760911a9f2ce188cd7244d86a76953c2

Use increased LMR horizont also in PV search

Tord says that using a lower horizon at PV nodes
looks strange and inconsistent with the general
philosophy of our search (i.e. always being more
conservative at PV nodes). So set LMR at 3 also
on search_pv().

Test result after 601 games seems to confirm this.
