Note also that you can test 00_8_295

I am not sure if latest version is better or worse than 00_8_295 in test suites
and there are positions that it is better and positions when it is worse.

I am also not sure if latest version is better than 00_8_295 in games but I
prefer at this point of time test suites and not games.

I plan to rewrite movei that is a long work but when there is a new tournament I
am still tempted to change the old code because of a tournament so I added more
options to change search variables.

I am interested only in testing changing search parameters.

I know that being better in test suites is not always being better in games and
practically 00_8_295 use some agressive evaluation based pruning that is
productive in games and not in test suites so I do not claim that I will suggest
to test the personality that scores best in test suites.
