Subject: Tweak the connected[] array value for pawns on rank 5
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d4cb80b2106efb58db87495090a3898d902075d6

Tweak the connected[] array value for pawns on rank 5

A recent tuning session by Jerry Donald Watson suggested that the
value for the pawns on the fifth rank in the connected[] array were
a little bit too high in master. We lower here this value from 75 to 65.
