Reduce more CUT nodes only if parent node is reduced
So when we are doing a LMR search at the parent ALL node. This patch didn't prove stronger at 60" TC LLR: -2.97 (-2.94,2.94) Total: 22398 W: 4070 L: 4060 D: 14268 But, first, it scores at 50%, second (and most important for me) the opposite, i.e. normal reduction when parent node is not reduced, seems very bad: LLR: -2.95 (-2.94,2.94) Total: 7036 W: 1446 L: 1534 D: 4056 According to Don, this idea of increased reduction of CUT nodes works because if parent node is reduced, missing a cut-off due to reduced depth search (meaning position is somehow tricky) forces a full depth research at parent node, giving due insight in this set of sensible positions. IOW if we expect a node to fail-high at depth n, then we assume it should fail-high also at depth n-1, if this doesn't happen it means position is tricky enough to deserve a research at depth n+1. bench: 4687419
