Subject: A king move can never have negative SEE
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=9d1522b24f24f0bb37425cb5bb2087d622faa58e;ds=sidebyside

A king move can never have negative SEE

So there is no need to explicitly check for king moves
when detecting prunable evasions.

Perhaps teoretically a very bit slower (I didn't test),
but it is more clear now what evasions we consider prunable.

No functional change.
