Date: Wed Sep 2 16:19:30 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1599056370 Stockfish 12 Official release version of Stockfish 12 Bench: 3624569 ----------------------- It is our pleasure to release Stockfish 12 to users world-wide Downloads will be freely available at https://stockfishchess.org/download/ This version 12 of Stockfish plays significantly stronger than any of its predecessors. In a match against Stockfish 11, Stockfish 12 will typically win at least ten times more game pairs than it loses. This jump in strength, visible in regular progression tests during development[1], results from the introduction of an efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) for the evaluation in Stockfish[2], and associated tuning of the engine as a whole. The concept of the NNUE evaluation was first introduced in shogi, and ported to Stockfish afterward. Stockfish remains a CPU-only engine, since the NNUE networks can be very efficiently evaluated on CPUs. The recommended parameters of the NNUE network are embedded in distributed binaries, and Stockfish will use NNUE by default. Both the NNUE and the classical evaluations are available, and can be used to assign values to positions that are later used in alpha-beta (PVS) search to find the best move. The classical evaluation computes this value as a function of various chess concepts, handcrafted by experts, tested and tuned using fishtest. The NNUE evaluation computes this value with a neural network based on basic inputs. The network is optimized and trained on the evaluations of millions of positions. The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts that contribute their expertise, time, and resources to build a free and open source chess engine that is robust, widely available, and very strong. We invite chess fans to join the fishtest testing framework and programmers to contribute on github[3]. Stay safe and enjoy chess!

The engine will be functional in the default mode without any additional user action. It allows non-default nets to be used, which will be looked for in up to three directories (working directory, location of the binary, and optionally a specific default directory). This mechanism is also kept for those developers that use MSVC, the one compiler that doesn't have an easy mechanism for embedding data. It is possible to disable embedding, and instead specify a specific directory, e.g. linux distros might want to use CXXFLAGS="-DNNUE_EMBEDDING_OFF -DDEFAULT_NNUE_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/games/stockfish/" make -j ARCH=x86-64 profile-build passed STC non-regression: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f4a581c150f0aef5f8ae03a LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.25,-0.25} Total: 66928 W: 7202 L: 7147 D: 52579 Elo +0.29 Ptnml(0-2): 291, 5309, 22211, 5360, 293 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3070 fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/3030 No functional change. see source |

Date: Wed Aug 26 07:11:26 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1598418686 Remove EvalList This patch removes the EvalList structure from the Position object and generally simplifies the interface between do_move() and the NNUE code. The NNUE evaluation function first calculates the "accumulator". The accumulator consists of two halves: one for white's perspective, one for black's perspective. If the "friendly king" has moved or the accumulator for the parent position is not available, the accumulator for this half has to be calculated from scratch. To do this, the NNUE node needs to know the positions and types of all non-king pieces and the position of the friendly king. This information can easily be obtained from the Position object. If the "friendly king" has not moved, its half of the accumulator can be calculated by incrementally updating the accumulator for the previous position. For this, the NNUE code needs to know which pieces have been added to which squares and which pieces have been removed from which squares. In principle this information can be derived from the Position object and StateInfo struct (in the same way as undo_move() does this). However, it is probably a bit faster to prepare this information in do_move(), so I have kept the DirtyPiece struct. Since the DirtyPiece struct now stores the squares rather than "PieceSquare" indices, there are now at most three "dirty pieces" (previously two). A promotion move that captures a piece removes the capturing pawn and the captured piece from the board (to SQ_NONE) and moves the promoted piece to the promotion square (from SQ_NONE).

Date: Mon Aug 24 12:03:28 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1598263408 Allow TT entries with key16==0 to be fetched Fix the issue where a TT entry with key16==0 would always be reported as a miss. Instead, we'll use depth8 to detect whether the TT entry is occupied. In order to do that, we'll change DEPTH_OFFSET to -7 (depth8==0) to distinguish between an unoccupied entry and the otherwise lowest possible depth, i.e., DEPTH_NONE (depth8==1). To prevent a performance regression, we'll reorder the TT entry fields by the access order of TranspositionTable::probe(). Memory in general works fastest when accessed in sequential order. We'll also match the store order in TTEntry::save() with the entry field order, and re-order the 'if-or' expressions in TTEntry::save() from the cheapest to the most expensive. Finally, as we now have a proper TT entry occupancy test, we'll fix a minor corner case with hashfull reporting. To reproduce: - Use a big hash - Either: a. Start 31 very quick searches (this wraparounds generation to 0); or b. Force generation of the first search to 0. - go depth infinite Before the fix, hashfull would incorrectly report nearly full hash immediately after the search start, since TranspositionTable::hashfull() used to consider only the entry generation and not whether the entry was actually occupied.

Date: Mon Aug 24 12:03:04 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1598263384 Support VNNI on 256bit vectors due to downclocking on current chips (tested up to cascade lake) supporting avx512 and vnni512, it is better to use avx2 or vnni256 in multithreaded (in particular hyperthreaded) engine use. In single threaded use, the picture is different. gcc compilation for vnni256 requires a toolchain for gcc >= 9. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3038 No functional change see source |

Date: Sun Aug 23 23:09:31 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1598216971 Skip the alignment bug workaround for Clang Clang-10.0.0 poses as gcc-4.2: $ clang++ -E -dM - </dev/null | grep GNUC This means that Clang is using the workaround for the alignment bug of gcc-8 even though it does not have the bug (as far as I know). This patch should speed up AVX2 and AVX512 compiles on Windows (when using Clang), because it disables (for Clang) the gcc workaround we had introduced in this commit: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/875183b310a8249922c2155e82cb4cecfae2097e closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3050 No functional change. see source |
