Tweak reductions formula: 0.88 * depth + 0.12
Replace the depth part in the reduction formula for higher depths
with a slower growing linear function. So for depth > 3 less reductions
are used.
What we can try next:
- move the break point to even higher depths
- tweak the slope for lower and higher depth
- even possibly use a further higher depth threshold for a another
slower growing function
