Hi everybody!

I've added MAXPLY (50) since to avoid rushing of to far in iterative deepening.
If not used it sometimes causes the search depth to rush of to riduculusly high
values. I don't think having a limit of 50 plies affects the performance when
you can search 50 plies your position is won or lost. If any of you think it is
a problem I'll set it to 100.

There are no features or array using MAXPLY as limit, it is there because future
features might need indexing by ply (killers) but none of these features are in
the program now. The current ply is only used for returning Defeat + Ply.

What bothers me most actually is not the bug, but that I can not come up with a
way to do efficient debugging.

/Regards Albert
