Protej 0.6.1

https://protej.info

Passed pawns evaluation. LMR tuned. Material evaluation refined. More optimizations. Console mode: added single piece scores board to eval command. Debug: setboard or position fen with an empty string caused a crash. Bullet Elo +75.

Special thanks to Graham Banks: I always test my updates with bullet games, I have neither the time nor the patience to play and review long tc games, but following Protej in his entertaining slow pace tournaments allows me to better understand what's wrong and what should I do to improve the engine.
