Date: Sat Oct 9 09:59:33 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1633766373 Reduce more if multiple moves exceed alpha Idea of this patch is the following: in case we already have four moves that exceeded alpha in the current node, the probability of finding fifth should be reasonably low. Note that four is completely arbitrary - there could and probably should be some tweaks, both in tweaking best move count threshold for more reductions and tweaking how they work - for example making more reductions with best move count linearly. passed STC: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/615f614783dd501a05b0aee2 LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <-0.50,2.50> Total: 141816 W: 36056 L: 35686 D: 70074 Elo +0.91 Ptnml(0-2): 499, 15131, 39273, 15511, 494 passed LTC: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/615fdff683dd501a05b0af35 LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.50> Total: 68536 W: 17221 L: 16891 D: 34424 Elo +1.67 Ptnml(0-2): 38, 6573, 20725, 6885, 47 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3736 Bench: 6131513 see source |

Date: Wed Oct 6 12:04:35 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1633514675 Capping stat bonus at 2000 This patch updates the stat_bonus() function (used in the history tables to help move ordering), keeping the same quadratic for small depths but changing the values for depth >= 9: The old bonus formula was increasing from zero at depth 1 to 4100 at depth 14, then used the strange, small value of 73 for all depths >= 15.

Date: Wed Oct 6 11:53:33 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1633514013 Time-management fix in MultiPV mode. When playing games in MultiPV mode we must take care to only track the best move changing for the first PV line. Otherwise, SF will spend most of its time for the initial moves after the book exit. This has been observed and reported on Discord, but can also be seen in games played in Stefan Pohl's MultiPV experiment. Tested with MultiPV=4.
