Date: Tue Feb 25 21:10:10 2020 +0100 Timestamp: 1582661410 Fix TT write in MultiPV case. fixes an error reported earlier as https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2404 by @AndyGrant. MultiPV at root shouldn't write to the TT for later lines, as that is neither the eval nor the bestmove for that position. Fixing this error doesn't matter for playing games (http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcdbd810ebc590256324a11). However, it can lead to wrong mate announcements as reported by @uriblass. In particular the following testcase gives wrong results for the second search, prior to this patch: ``` setoption name MultiPV value 2 position fen 5R2/2kB2p1/p2bR3/8/3p1B2/8/PPP5/2K5 b - - 0 49 go depth 40 position fen 2B2R2/3r2p1/p1kbR3/8/3p1B2/8/PPP5/2K5 b - - 8 48 go depth 40 ``` fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2561 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2562 Only affects MultiPV search.

Date: Tue Feb 25 21:03:42 2020 +0100 Timestamp: 1582661022 Use single param for Outpost and ReachableOutpost. In November 2019, as a result of the simplification of rank-based outposts by 37698b0, separate bonuses were introduced for outposts that are currently occupied and outposts that are reachable on the next move. However, the values of these two bonuses are quite similar, and they have remained that way for three months of development. It appears that we can safely retire the separate ReachableOutpost parameter and use the same Outpost bonus in both cases, restoring the basic principles of Stockfish outpost evaluation to their pre-November state, while also reducing the size of the parameter space.

To address this problem this patch introduces a table dedicated for what's happening at plies 0-3. It's structured like mainHistory with ply index instead of color. It get cleared with each new search and is filled during iterative deepening at higher depths when recording successful quiet moves near the root or traversing nodes which were in the principal variation (ttPv).

The idea is to block the pawn (preferably behind the Troitsky line) with one of the knights and press the weakSide king into a corner. If we can stalemate the king, we release the pawn with the knight (to avoid actual stalemate), and use the knight to complete the mate before the pawn promotes. This is also why there is an additional penalty for advancement of the pawn. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2553 Bench: 4981770 see source |

Date: Sat Feb 15 15:10:07 2020 +0100 Timestamp: 1581775807 Fix for incorrect VALUE_MATE_IN_MAX_PLY usage. Fixes #2533, fixes #2543, fixes #2423. the code that prevents false mate announcements depending on the TT state (GHI), incorrectly used VALUE_MATE_IN_MAX_PLY. The latter constant, however, also includes, counterintuitively, the TB win range. This patch fixes that, by restoring the behavior for TB win scores, while retaining the false mate correctness, and improving the mate finding ability. In particular no alse mates are announced with the poisened hash testcase ``` position fen 8/8/8/3k4/8/8/6K1/7R w - - 0 1 go depth 40 position fen 8/8/8/3k4/8/8/6K1/7R w - - 76 1 go depth 20 ucinewgame ``` mates are found with the testcases reported in #2543 ``` position fen 4k3/3pp3/8/8/8/8/2PPP3/4K3 w - - 0 1 setoption name Hash value 1024 go depth 55 ucinewgame ``` and ``` position fen 4k3/4p3/8/8/8/8/3PP3/4K3 w - - 0 1 setoption name Hash value 1024 go depth 45 ucinewgame ``` furthermore, on the mate finding benchmark (ChestUCI_23102018.epd), performance improves over master, roughly reaching performance with the false mate protection reverted ``` Analyzing 6566 mate positions for best and found mates: ----------------best ---------------found nodes master revert fixed master revert fixed 16000000 4233 4236 4235 5200 5201 5199 32000000 4583 4585 4585 5417 5424 5418 64000000 4852 4853 4855 5575 5584 5579 128000000 5071 5068 5066 5710 5720 5716 256000000 5280 5282 5279 5819 5827 5826 512000000 5471 5468 5468 5919 5935 5932 ``` On a testcase with TB enabled, progress is made consistently, contrary to master ``` setoption name SyzygyPath value ../../../syzygy/3-4-5/ setoption name Hash value 2048 position fen 1R6/3k4/8/K2p4/4n3/2P5/8/8 w - - 0 1 go depth 58 ucinewgame ``` The PR (prior to a rewrite for clarity) passed STC: LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 65405 W: 12454 L: 12384 D: 40567 Elo +0.37 Ptnml(0-2): 920, 7256, 16285, 7286, 944 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5e441a3be70d848499f63d15 passed LTC: LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 27096 W: 3477 L: 3413 D: 20206 Elo +0.82 Ptnml(0-2): 128, 2215, 8776, 2292, 122 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5e44e277e70d848499f63d63 The incorrectly named VALUE_MATE_IN_MAX_PLY and VALUE_MATED_IN_MAX_PLY were renamed into VALUE_TB_WIN_IN_MAX_PLY and VALUE_TB_LOSS_IN_MAX_PLY, and correclty defined VALUE_MATE_IN_MAX_PLY and VALUE_MATED_IN_MAX_PLY were introduced.

The intention of the patch is to avoid aggressive null move pruning (NMP) in positions that have previously been found to be important (PV nodes).

I think this might be a common pattern - scores that seem to mainly apply to the midgame are often better with a similar (or at least fairly big) endgame value as well.
