McBrain v2.0 Release

[MikeB]

One of the highlights of this release came from SugaR (a SF based engine by Marco Zerbinati) - you can now toggle search functions "off" and "on" real time ( Futility, LMR, NullMove, ProbCut, Pruning, Razoring).

My humble opinion about it is that it was not a good choice to include these capabilities in the engine. In fact I have done tests with all possible configurations and the results have always been lower than expected. I think that to continue on the old road would be best, but I repeat again that's just my personal impression.

I will look into it - and yes changing just about any settings makes SF play worse , sometimes much worse. They will be in the next release - since that release is already done, but maybe next time.
