More than 100 elo better.

It beated 0.07.99 in the nunn1 match 14.5-5.5

I did not play the nunn2 match between them but more than 100 elo better is also
confirmed by tests of beta testers(I do not know the exact difference and my
estimate is 150-200 elo difference in blitz and I do not know about longer time
control).

Main improvement except speed and some search tricks are that 0.08.131 has some
knowledge about king safety and about pawn structure(0.07.99 does not evaluate
passed pawns) and about pawns relative to the kings in endgames.
