Subject: Remove strange use of the ternary operator
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fc9a01933ce33fda3732c1d5bbde5a8908d0019;p=fairystockfish.git

Remove strange use of the ternary operator

Note that we read shared data without lock
protection, so code is theoretically prone to
torn reads. But, first splitPoint pointer
never changes, and alpha is of integer type so
it is read in a single DWORD access.

No functional change.
