I noticed the new pawnvalue routine in eval.c is a lot
slower (in early game) than the one in 4pl68, it
also leads to quite different play, especially early on.
Turn the book off and set it to 5 or 6 ply and watch
how different the choices are vs 4pl68.

Can anyone elaborate on why the 4pl69 routine would be
better than the 4pl68 routine (PawnValue)
What was it suppose to "fix"
