Subject: More random draw evaluations
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=770c8d92f3886d11ae88afef13f6552f9132a714

More random draw evaluations

Use the randomized draw function value_draw() also for draw evalutions.

This extends the earlier commit
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/97d2cc9a9c1c4b6ff1b470676fa18c7fc6509886
which did this only for 3folds.

As in that case, this test was yellow at STC and LTC, but green at VLTC,
indicative of the fact that the higher the drawrate, the more likely this
idea is beneficial.

LLR: -2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [0.50,4.50]
