Tweak stat bonus formula on top of latest elo gain by @snicolet STC http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5b830a810ebc5902bdbb7e9c LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,4.00] Total: 27797 W: 6113 L: 5842 D: 15842 LTC http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5b831f2c0ebc5902bdbb8038 LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,4.00] Total: 13655 W: 2294 L: 2099 D: 9262 I think that more elo can be found in tweaks of this parameters so I plan to further try some "hand-tuning", including increasing/decreasing ratio of two constants and making bonus assimetric to 0. Thx to @AndyGrant for helping with github and @jerrydonaldwatson for original idea. Closes #1748 Bench: 4172767
