Date: Mon Jun 21 22:58:56 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1624309136 Remove the Contempt UCI option This patch removes the UCI option for setting Contempt in classical evaluation. It is exactly equivalent to using Contempt=0 for the UCI contempt value and keeping the dynamic part in the algo (renaming this dynamic part `trend` to better describe what it does). We have tried quite hard to implement a working Contempt feature for NNUE but nothing really worked, so it is probably time to give up. Interested chess fans wishing to keep playing with the UCI option for Contempt and use it with the classical eval are urged to download the version tagged "SF_Classical" of Stockfish (dated 31 July 2020), as it was the last version where our search algorithm was tuned for the classical eval and is probably our strongest classical player ever: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/tags Passed STC: LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) <-2.50,0.50> Total: 72904 W: 6228 L: 6175 D: 60501 Elo +0.25 Ptnml(0-2): 221, 5006, 25971, 5007, 247 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60c98bf9457376eb8bcab18d Passed LTC: LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) <-2.50,0.50> Total: 45168 W: 1601 L: 1547 D: 42020 Elo +0.42 Ptnml(0-2): 38, 1331, 19786, 1397, 32 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60c9c7fa457376eb8bcab1bb closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3575 Bench: 4947716 see source |

Date: Sat Jun 19 11:22:30 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1624094550 Fix for Cygwin's environment build-profile (fixed) The Cygwin environment has two g++ compilers, each with a different problem for compiling Stockfish at the moment: (a) g++.exe : full posix build compiler, linked to cygwin dll. => This one has a problem embedding the net. (b) x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe : native Windows build compiler. => This one manages to embed the net, but has a problem related to libgcov when we use the profile-build target of Stockfish. This patch solves the problem for compiler (b), so that our recommended command line if you want to build an optimized version of Stockfish on Cygwin becomes something like the following (you can change the ARCH value to whatever you want, but note the COMP and CXX variables pointing at the right compiler): ``` make -j profile-build ARCH=x86-64-modern COMP=mingw CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-c++.exe ``` closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3569 No functional change see source |

Date: Mon Jun 14 09:24:07 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1623655447 Update default net to nn-8e47cf062333.nnue This net is the result of training on data used by the Leela project. More precisely, we shuffled T60 and T74 data kindly provided by borg (for different Tnn, the data is a result of Leela selfplay with differently sized Leela nets). The data is available at vondele's google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mftuzYdl9o6tBaceR3d_VBQIrgKJsFpl. The Leela data comes in small chunks of .binpack files. To shuffle them, we simply used a small python script to randomly rename the files, and then concatenated them using `cat`. As validation data we picked a file of T60 data. We will further investigate T74 data. The training for the NNUE architecture used 200 epochs with the Python trainer from the Stockfish project. Unlike the previous run we tried with this data, this run does not have adjusted scaling — not because we didn't want to, but because we forgot. However, this training randomly skips 40% more positions than previous run. The loss was very spiky and decreased slower than it does usually.

Date: Sun Jun 13 12:00:20 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1623578420 Do less LMR extensions This patch restricts LMR extensions (of non-transposition table moves) from being used when the transposition table move was extended by two plies via singular extension. This may serve to limit search explosions in certain positions. This makes a lot of sense because the precondition for the tt-move to have been singular extended by two plies is that the result of the alternate search (with excluded the tt-move) has been a hard fail low: it is natural to later search less for non tt-moves in this situation. The current state of depth/extensions/reductions management is getting quite tricky in our search algo, see https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3546#issuecomment-860174549 for some discussion.
