Detect fortresses a little bit quicker In the so-called "hybrid" method of evaluation of current master, we use the classical eval (because of its speed) instead of the NNUE eval when the classical material balance approximation hints that the position is "winning enough" to rely on the classical eval. This trade-off idea between speed and accuracy works well in general, but in some fortress positions the classical eval is just bad. So in shuffling branches of the search tree, we (slowly) increase the thresehold so that eventually we don't trust classical anymore and switch to NNUE evaluation. This patch increases that threshold faster, so that we switch to NNUE quicker in shuffling branches. Idea is to incite Stockfish to spend less time in fortresses lines in the search tree, and spend more time searching the critical lines. passed STC: LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) <-0.50,2.50> Total: 47872 W: 3908 L: 3720 D: 40244 Ptnml(0-2): 122, 3053, 17419, 3199, 143 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60cef34b457376eb8bcab79d passed LTC: LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.50> Total: 73616 W: 2326 L: 2143 D: 69147 Ptnml(0-2): 21, 1940, 32705, 2119, 23 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60cf6d842114332881e73528 Retested at LTC against lastest master: LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.50> Total: 18264 W: 642 L: 532 D: 17090 Ptnml(0-2): 6, 479, 8055, 583, 9 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60d18cd540925195e7a6c351 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3578 Bench: 5139233
