Subject: join scale_factor, initiative and mg+eg reduction
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=902309020a8ebf97a649cacfdc2dc2881b630966;hp=15e190e9428b21fbfe29ce020c456077dc5fdd04

join scale_factor, initiative and mg+eg reduction

Merging this code into one function `winnable()`.
Should allow common concepts used to adjust the eg value,
either by addition or scaling, to be combined more effectively.

Improve trace function.

closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2710

No functional change.
