Evaluation speed optimization #6
Description
Instead of calculating the material value for each player every time in the
evaluation ( by iterating through all pieces ), it would be a good idea to
keep the board's material value inside the Board class and simply updating
it. That way it will shave some time off, after several million evaluations.
