Combination of parameter tweaks in search, evaluation and time management.
Original patches by @snicolet @xoto10 @lonfom169 and me.
Includes:

  1. Use bigger grain of positional evaluation more frequently (up to 1 exchange difference in non-pawn-material);
  2. More extra time according to increment;
  3. Increase margin for singular extensions;
  4. Do more aggresive parent node futility pruning.

Congratulations!
Well done!
By the way since in the combo there is also a change in the time management, do you think it needs some extra tests in some other time controls?

I'll leave it to maintainers to decide. Personally I don't really think so mainly because previous change of this sort passed all non-regression tests quite easily.

I wondered this, but I think the question is what would we test? Sudden death shouldn't be affected because there's no increment, and tcec-style tc will have much less change than fishtest since the increment is 1/10 of the size. So maybe no other tests required.

Don't forget the more you test the bigger probability of false-negative result :)

And there's that as well, you've convinced me! :-)
