Do stats updates after LMR for captures

Vizvezdenec · Joachim26 · commit 1ee552e85a2c · 2023-11-22T01:42:29.000+01:00
Since captures that are in LMR use continuation histories of corresponding quiet moves it makes sense to update this histories if this capture passes LMR by analogy to existing logic for quiet moves.
