Date: Thu Aug 6 16:37:45 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1596724665 Add NNUE evaluation This patch ports the efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) evaluation to Stockfish. Both the NNUE and the classical evaluations are available, and can be used to assign a value to a position that is later used in alpha-beta (PVS) search to find the best move. The classical evaluation computes this value as a function of various chess concepts, handcrafted by experts, tested and tuned using fishtest. The NNUE evaluation computes this value with a neural network based on basic inputs. The network is optimized and trained on the evalutions of millions of positions at moderate search depth. The NNUE evaluation was first introduced in shogi, and ported to Stockfish afterward. It can be evaluated efficiently on CPUs, and exploits the fact that only parts of the neural network need to be updated after a typical chess move. [The nodchip repository](https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish) provides additional tools to train and develop the NNUE networks. This patch is the result of contributions of various authors, from various communities, including: nodchip, ynasu87, yaneurao (initial port and NNUE authors), domschl, FireFather, rqs, xXH4CKST3RXx, tttak, zz4032, joergoster, mstembera, nguyenpham, erbsenzaehler, dorzechowski, and vondele. This new evaluation needed various changes to fishtest and the corresponding infrastructure, for which tomtor, ppigazzini, noobpwnftw, daylen, and vondele are gratefully acknowledged. The first networks have been provided by gekkehenker and sergiovieri, with the latter net (nn-97f742aaefcd.nnue) being the current default. The evaluation function can be selected at run time with the `Use NNUE` (true/false) UCI option, provided the `EvalFile` option points the the network file (depending on the GUI, with full path).

Date: Sat Jul 11 11:23:55 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1594459435 Introduce bad outpost penalty In some French games, Stockfish likes to bring the Knight to a bad outpost spot. This is evident in TCEC S18 Superfinal Game 63, where there is a Knight outpost on the queenside but is actually useless. Stockfish is effectively playing a piece down while holding ground against Leela's break on the kingside. This patch turns the +56 mg bonus for a Knight outpost into a -7 mg penalty if it satisfies the following conditions: * The outpost square is not on the CenterFiles (i.e. not on files C,D,E and F) * The knight is not attacking non pawn enemies. * The side where the outpost is located contains only few enemies, with a particular conditional_more_than_two() implementation Thank you to for bringing this to our attention and for providing insights.

Date: Sat Jul 11 11:10:06 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1594458606 Maximize usage of transposition table in probcut Probcut is a heuristic that wasn't changed a lot in past years, all attempts to change it using information / writing info to transposition table failed. This patch has a number of differences that can be summarized as follows: * For TT write/read we use depth - 3. Because probcut search is depth - 4 but we actually do the move prior to it so effectively we do depth - 3 search; * In any case of depth of eval from transposition table being >= depth - 3 we either produce cutoff or refuse to even do probcut search, this is allowing us to write info of probcut to transposition table because we know that we wouldn't be overwriting some deeper data with our depth - 3 search - this is an important aspect of this patch; * For some not really known reason this patch completely ignores tte->bound() - which was the case for previous patch that made probcut interact with TT, maybe 2) is the reason, although it's unproven.
