Subject: Use DEPTH_ZERO initializer for depth in qsearch (#931)
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee22b61f5e90a180af942828feb83cef90ea5683;hp=8c61bbda54b0ec06cb05b89db4342d890dd21798

Use DEPTH_ZERO initializer for depth in qsearch (#931)

Simplifies the main search function.

No functional change.
