I was inspired by shawn's tests, which tried to remove the condition completely.
Interestingly, the patch passed STC but quickly failed LTC.

Now, in this implementation, the depth extension is no longer tied to the current ply within the search tree, it now limits it based on the root depth itself. The extension will only be applied if the initial root search depth is greater than 8.
