I still have my suggested "fractional ply" code lying around, which uses
the "reduced" settings. Not sure whether they can be merged with the
current code though.

I never got around to actually testing whether it was improving on the
playing strength. I have a hope that it can work in combination with the
pruned nets - together allowing us to achieve better playing strength in
the same timespan.

My compilation environment is broken, so it might take some time before
I can get this working again. And I still don't have a framework for
testing playing strength. But I would definitely be sad to see reduced
evaluation being removed from the code.
