Artemis Chess 1.1.0 - chess engine and GUI


v. 1.1.0:
The Killer Moves table now updates every time a cutoff occurs, instead of keeping the first 2 values.

This generally means that deeper moves will replace the old ones.

Also, instead of clearing the table after each search, it now gets shifted by 2 plies, keeping the moves found in previous searches. This change increased the number of alpha-beta cutoffs caused by killer moves.

The Null Move heuristic received a small tweak that greatly improved it: previously, it was limitied to depth>3.

Removing this limit vastly increased the number of alpha-beta cutoffs it achieved. This in turn yielded an increase to NPS, without apparent negative effects.

The engine now prints stats like NPS, alpha-beta cutoffs, etc., which helped discover the improvements in this version.
