I get 1% less nodes to search when I use refutation tables, but my program gets
1% slower (tested on 40 early and middlegame positions). So the advantage is not
obvious.

I keep them for the moment, as I suspect they can help a lot on a small number
of problematic positions, but I don't like to add complexity without a strong
compensation.
