+/// The Stats struct stores moves statistics. According to the template parameter
+/// the class can store History and Countermoves. History records how often
+/// different moves have been successful or unsuccessful during the current search
+/// and is used for reduction and move ordering decisions.
+/// Countermoves store the move that refute a previous one. Entries are stored
+/// using only the moving piece and destination square, hence two moves with
+/// different origin but same destination and piece will be considered identical.
