Subject: Add file distance condition in move_is_legal()
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=21fc66c2466f86a7ee12221e197b6e6708f4512b

Add file distance condition in move_is_legal()

Found another missed control in move_is_legal() thanks to
brute force testing.

No functional change.
