Tested it. There's no significant difference between the two. In fact, the test
on top of negamax is even a tiny bit faster. This is probably because of
compiler optimization. I use Delphi and results aren't always what you expect
due to this. I have noticed that on some occasions after adding some code, the
performance of the engine increases instead of decreasing.
