Subject: Use 2 * bestMoveChanges.
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f426d8667feda65eaf1eca699f629d31e170d43;hp=7135678f71b7f6ee32e92b8dbef2b16b403d8ea9

Use 2 * bestMoveChanges.

NNUE appears to provide a more stable eval than the classic eval,
so the time use dependencies on bestMoveChanges, fallingEval,
etc may need to change to make the best use of available time.
This change doubles the effect of totBestMoveChanges when giving
more time because the choice of best move is unstable.
