Please note that resolve wins has no effect in naive mode when ambition is <100.

When a "win" is found, the engine increases the target to "latest win score +
ambition" and starts searching again. In naive mode, it means that when the
engine finds the win of one pawn, it immediately starts searching for the win of
a two pawns.

What resolve wins does with "naive" mode = false is find the exact score for the
win, after the win is found, without worrying about the ambition any more.

I hope that this is clear - I'll put together some examples for all of this
later. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me an email.
