Date: Sun Mar 5 16:06:03 2023 +0100 Timestamp: 1678028763 Fix duplicated moves generation in movepicker in a some of cases movepicker returned some moves more than once which lead to them being searched more than once. This bug was possible because of how we use queen promotions - they are generated as a captures but are not included in position function which checks if move is a capture. Thus if any refutation (killer or countermove) was a queen promotion it was searched twice - once as a capture and one as a refutation. This patch affects various things, namely stats assignments for queen promotions and other moves if best move is queen promotion, also some heuristics in search and qsearch. With this patch every queen promotion is now considered a capture. After this patch number of found duplicated moves is 0 during normal 13 depth bench run.

Date: Mon Feb 27 08:27:26 2023 +0100 Timestamp: 1677482846 Use common_parent_position hint also at PVNodes TT hits. Credits to Stefan Geschwentner (locutus2) showing that the hint is useful on PvNodes. In contrast to his test, this version avoids to use the hint when in check. I believe checking positions aren't good candidates for the hint because: - evasion moves are rather few, so a checking pos. has much less childs than a normal position - if the king has to move the NNUE eval can't use incremental updates, so the child nodes have to do a full refresh anyway.

Date: Thu Feb 9 07:45:05 2023 +0100 Timestamp: 1675925105 Cleanup and reorder in qsearch This patch is a simplification / code normalisation in qsearch. Adds steps in comments the same way we have in search; Makes a separate "pruning" stage instead of heuristics randomly being spread over qsearch code; Reorders pruning heuristics from least taxing ones to more taxing ones; Removes repeated check for best value not being mated, instead uses 1 check - thus removes some lines of code. Moves prefetch and move setup after pruning - makes no sense to do them if move will actually get pruned.
