Subject: Do IID also when we already have a ttMove
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ea323aec6a2c18f97c574efe2073a4ae185c7bd;ds=sidebyside

Do IID also when we already have a ttMove

In case tte->depth() is far lower the current depth
and we are in a PV node.

Almost 45% of researches give a different ttMove !

After 999 games at 1+0
Mod vs Orig +174 =694 -131 +15 ELO !!!!!!!
