Subject: Allow a static evaluation to overwrite an exsisting entry
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=67f611f3eb68a9714d41d62777913bb2a4075314

Allow a static evaluation to overwrite an exsisting entry

The idea here is that if we cut-off after a stand pat the
already exsisting TT entry was not usable with current
beta, so overwrite anyway.
