Adds an isolated LMR experiment based on current
main.Change
When a move is already LMR-eligible (late quiet move), add one extra ply of reduction if the node's TT move is a capture:
if (ttMove && ttMove.isCapture()) ++reduction;Rationale
A tactical TT move can be a signal that late quiet alternatives are less likely to be competitive, so this experiment reduces those quiet moves more aggressively while preserving the existing full-depth re-search when a reduced search beats alpha.
