Well spotted, it is applied to move 20 not move 10.

It predates CVS on the code, but I'm pretty sure I recall this
one being because development is rarely completed by move 10,
and GNU Chess had an evil habit of not castling, if it had not
done it by move 10.

I will correct the comment, and put the units into "ply" to
avoid unneeded calculations in Evaluate.
