Subject: Suppress bad gatings in variant seirawan
X-Git-Tag: 4.8Q~16
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5c485a9f63283f180e6a444d0ce9c22befa2aabb;p=fairymax.git

Suppress bad gatings in variant seirawan

For moves done by the engine, the QS score after gating is compared to
the original score of the move (which did not consider gating), and if
it is much lower, the gating is cancelled.
