I did not do a full test suite but I found in few test positions that sometimes
I even get a bigger tree with depth>=1 and not with depth>=2 and that I also get
less nodes per second with depth>=1 so I decided not
to use it because taking more risks does not seem to be a good idea if I often
get a bigger tree and search slightly slower.
