Date: Sun Aug 6 22:16:52 2023 +0200 Timestamp: 1691353012 Remove classical psqt Based on vondele's deletepsqt branch: https://github.com/vondele/Stockfish/commit/369f5b051 This huge simplification uses a weighted material differences instead of the positional piece square tables (psqt) in the semi-classical complexity calculation. Tuned weights using spsa at 45+0.45 with: int pawnMult = 100; int knightMult = 325; int bishopMult = 350; int rookMult = 500; int queenMult = 900; TUNE(SetRange(0, 200), pawnMult); TUNE(SetRange(0, 650), knightMult); TUNE(SetRange(0, 700), bishopMult); TUNE(SetRange(200, 800), rookMult); TUNE(SetRange(600, 1200), queenMult); The values obtained via this tuning session were for a model where the psqt replacement formula was always from the point of view of White, even if the side to move was Black. We re-used the same values for an implementation with a psqt replacement from the point of view of the side to move, testing the result both on our standard book on positions with a strong White bias, and an alternate book with positions with a strong Black bias. We note that with the patch the last use of the venerable "Score" type disappears in Stockfish codebase (the Score type was used in classical evaluation to get a tampered eval interpolating values smoothly from the early midgame stage to the endgame stage). We leave it to another commit to clean all occurrences of Score in the code and the comments. ------- Passed non-regression LTC: LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <-1.75,0.25> Total: 142542 W: 36264 L: 36168 D: 70110 Elo +0.23 Ptnml(0-2): 76, 15578, 39856, 15696, 65 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/64c8cb495b17f7c21c0cf9f8 Passed non-regression LTC (with a book with Black bias): https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/64c8f9295b17f7c21c0cfdaf LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <-1.75,0.25> Total: 494814 W: 125565 L: 125827 D: 243422 Elo -0.18 Ptnml(0-2): 244, 53926, 139346, 53630, 261 ------ closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4713 Bench: 1655985 see source |

Date: Sat Jul 29 00:56:26 2023 +0200 Timestamp: 1690584986 Malus during move ordering for putting pieces en prise The original idea is the reverse of a previous patch [1] which added bonuses in our move picker to moves escaping threats. In this patch, in addition to bonuses for evading threats, we apply penalties to moves moving to threatened squares. Further tweaks of that basic idea resulted in this specific version which further increases the penalty of moves moving to squares threatend depending on the piece threatening it. So for example a queen moving to a square attacked by a pawn would receive a larger penalty than a queen moving to square attacked by a rook.
