Subject: Do not overwrite valuable TT data after probcut.
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d89730d5c8dcf10eb9e1d91a81f903d9fc3c949a;p=fairystockfish.git

Do not overwrite valuable TT data after probcut.

This patch allows an engine to write probcut data only in case
the probcut search depth is greater than transposition table depth.
