I tryed and it works, now my test program realizes a better
score at the WAC test suite (not a lot, but it is noticeably
better), thanks a lot, yup!
On the other side, i tried to do the null move with a
non-null alphabeta window, but i found that this is a too big
handicap just to make work better the BM extension.
