Date: Sat Jul 6 17:43:39 2024 +0200 Timestamp: 1720280619 Introduction evaluation grain of 16 (and randomize) This patch uses an evaluation grain of 16 in order to get more cutoffs in the alpha-beta algorithm. For a discussion of the efficiency of alpha-beta related to changes in the number of discrete values of terminal nodes, see for instance section 9.1.2 of Judea Pearl's classical book "Heuristics" : https://mat.uab.cat/~alseda/MasterOpt/Judea_Pearl-Heuristics_Intelligent_Search_Strategies_for_Computer_Problem_Solving.pdf Moreover, we add a small (-1, +1) random component after the quantification to help the search exploration a little bit. This is similar in spirit to the (-1, +1) random component already present in the function draw_value() to make Stockfish more robust in draw evaluations. passed STC: LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) <0.00,2.00> Total: 220960 W: 57249 L: 56668 D: 107043 Elo +0.91 Ptnml(0-2): 499, 26017, 56882, 26568, 514 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/668907fb7edfb6f233f999f8 passed LTC : LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,2.50> Total: 48966 W: 12574 L: 12233 D: 24159 Elo +2.42 Ptnml(0-2): 14, 5233, 13654, 5562, 20 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/6689105659cb3228a47598bf closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/5449 bench: 1336007 see source |

Date: Fri Jul 5 15:43:49 2024 +0200 Timestamp: 1720187029 Correct and extend PV lines with decisive TB score Currently (after #5407), SF has the property that any PV line with a decisive TB score contains the corresponding TB position, with a score that correctly identifies the depth at which TB are entered. The PV line that follows might not preserve the game outcome, but can easily be verified and extended based on TB information. This patch provides this functionality, simply extending the PV lines on output, this doesn't affect search. Indeed, if DTZ tables are available, search based PV lines that correspond to decisive TB scores are verified to preserve game outcome, truncating the line as needed. Subsequently, such PV lines are extended with a game outcome preserving line until mate, as a possible continuation. These lines are not optimal mating lines, but are similar to what a user could produce on a website like https://syzygy-tables.info/ clicking always the top ranked move, i.e. minimizing or maximizing DTZ (with a simple tie-breaker for moves that have identical DTZ), and are thus an just an illustration of how to game can be won. A similar approach is already in established in https://github.com/joergoster/Stockfish/tree/matefish2 This also contributes to addressing #5175 where SF can give an incorrect TB win/loss for positions in TB with a movecounter that doesn't reflect optimal play. While the full solution requires either TB generated differently, or a search when ranking rootmoves, current SF will eventually find a draw in these cases, in practice quite quickly, e.g. `1kq5/q2r4/5K2/8/8/8/8/7Q w - - 96 1` `8/8/6k1/3B4/3K4/4N3/8/8 w - - 54 106` Gives the same results as master on an extended set of test positions from https://github.com/mcostalba/Stockfish/commit/9173d29c414ddb8f4bec74e4db3ccbe664c66bf9 with the exception of the above mentioned fen where this commit improves. With https://github.com/vondele/matetrack using 6men TB, all generated PVs verify: ``` Using ../Stockfish/src/stockfish.syzygyExtend on matetrack.epd with --nodes 1000000 --syzygyPath /chess/syzygy/3-4-5-6/WDL:/chess/syzygy/3-4-5-6/DTZ Engine ID: Stockfish dev-20240704-ff227954 Total FENs: 6555 Found mates: 3299 Best mates: 2582 Found TB wins: 568 ``` As repeated DTZ probing could be slow a procedure (100ms+ on HDD, a few ms on SSD), the extension is only done as long as the time taken is less than half the `Move Overhead` parameter. For tournaments where these lines might be of interest to the user, a suitable `Move Overhead` might be needed (e.g. TCEC has 1000ms already). closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/5414 No functional change see source |

Date: Fri Jul 5 15:43:42 2024 +0200 Timestamp: 1720187022 Output from a fix depth onward, instead of 3s. To avoid output that depends on timing, output currmove and similar only from depth > 30 onward. Current choice of 3s makes the output of the same search depending on the system load, and doesn't always start at move 1. Depth 30 is nowadays reached in a few seconds on most systems. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/5436 No functional change see source |
