It means "Critical Variation". The CV(0.13) line is based on white moves from
iteration 9 and black moves from iteration 8 and shows how iteration 9 refutes
things that were believed by iteration 8. Including moves from the last
iteration in the hashtable wastes memory, but I think it really helps me
understand what is going on inside KnightDreamer. The value indicates how
important the discovery is.
