Date: Fri Jul 2 14:53:30 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1625230410 Stockfish 14 Official release version of Stockfish 14 Bench: 4770936 --- Today, we have the pleasure to announce Stockfish 14. As usual, downloads will be freely available at https://stockfishchess.org The engine is now significantly stronger than just a few months ago, and wins four times more game pairs than it loses against the previous release version [0]. Stockfish 14 is now at least 400 Elo ahead of Stockfish 7, a top engine in 2016 [1]. During the last five years, Stockfish has thus gained about 80 Elo per year. Stockfish 14 evaluates positions more accurately than Stockfish 13 as a result of two major steps forward in defining and training the efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) that provides the evaluation for positions. First, the collaboration with the Leela Chess Zero team - announced previously [2] - has come to fruition. The LCZero team has provided a collection of billions of positions evaluated by Leela that we have combined with billions of positions evaluated by Stockfish to train the NNUE net that powers Stockfish 14. The fact that we could use and combine these datasets freely was essential for the progress made and demonstrates the power of open source and open data [3]. Second, the architecture of the NNUE network was significantly updated: the new network is not only larger, but more importantly, it deals better with large material imbalances and can specialize for multiple phases of the game [4]. A new project, kick-started by Gary Linscott and Tomasz Sobczyk, led to a GPU accelerated net trainer written in pytorch.[5] This tool allows for training high-quality nets in a couple of hours. Finally, this release features some search refinements, minor bug fixes and additional improvements. For example, Stockfish is now about 90 Elo stronger for chess960 (Fischer random chess) at short time control. The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts (thanks everybody!) 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 our chess fans to join the fishtest testing framework and programmers to contribute to the project on github [6]. Stay safe and enjoy chess!

Date: Tue Jun 22 11:51:03 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1624355463 Detect fortresses a little bit quicker In the so-called "hybrid" method of evaluation of current master, we use the classical eval (because of its speed) instead of the NNUE eval when the classical material balance approximation hints that the position is "winning enough" to rely on the classical eval. This trade-off idea between speed and accuracy works well in general, but in some fortress positions the classical eval is just bad. So in shuffling branches of the search tree, we (slowly) increase the thresehold so that eventually we don't trust classical anymore and switch to NNUE evaluation. This patch increases that threshold faster, so that we switch to NNUE quicker in shuffling branches. Idea is to incite Stockfish to spend less time in fortresses lines in the search tree, and spend more time searching the critical lines. passed STC: LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) <-0.50,2.50> Total: 47872 W: 3908 L: 3720 D: 40244 Elo +1.36 Ptnml(0-2): 122, 3053, 17419, 3199, 143 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60cef34b457376eb8bcab79d passed LTC: LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.50> Total: 73616 W: 2326 L: 2143 D: 69147 Elo +0.86 Ptnml(0-2): 21, 1940, 32705, 2119, 23 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60cf6d842114332881e73528 Retested at LTC against lastest master: LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.50> Total: 18264 W: 642 L: 532 D: 17090 Elo +2.09 Ptnml(0-2): 6, 479, 8055, 583, 9 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60d18cd540925195e7a6c351 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3578 Bench: 5139233 see source |

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 |

There is also change in bucket 7 (29-32 pieces) but not as substantial as the changes in buckets 1 and 2. If we interpret the changes based on an experiment a few months ago, this new net plays more optimistically during endgames and less optimistically during openings.
