This is interesting. The original Crafty code uses null move at the leaves of
the tree, when close to the endgame. Your code uses null move at at the front of
the tree. Has this shown to be better in test suites or in games?
Also, you don't allow null moves at the last ply. Does this reach higher depth
with the same node count?
