Subject: [PATCH] Removed an incorrect assert() statement in search.cpp, which
 asserted that a static eval cached in the transposition table would always
 equal the static eval of the current position. This is in general not true,
 because the cached value could be from a previous search with different
 evaluation parameter settings, or from a search from the opposite side
 (Stockfish's evaluation function is assymmetric by default).
