Fox Chess 1.2 what's new?
Tested with a balanced book:
Estimated CCRL Blitz rating: 3060
STC: +160 elo
LTC: +156 elo (although nElo is 12 higher than STC)

Tested with an unbalanced book:
2 threads vs 1 thread: +93 elo
4 threads vs 1 thread: +153 elo
8 threads vs 1 thread: +196 elo
These threaded tests all have different time controls and hash sizes. Also the 4t and 8t tests are really small sample size. They are really just for fun.

I did change how nodes are counted, so it no longer counts twice when entering quiescence search. So reported nps will be lower if you compare to v1.1.

Added the option of multithreaded search! I also added options for move overhead to save time during search if needed and soft max nodes for when running with go nodes.
