Date: Thu May 14 20:47:59 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1589482079 Simplify Time Management This is a functional simplification of the time management system. With this patch, there is a simple equation for each of two distinct time controls: basetime + increment, and x moves in y seconds (+increment). These equations are easy to plot and understand making future modifications or adding additional time controls much easier. SlowMover is reset to 100 so that is has no effect unless a user changes it. There are two scaling variables: * Opt_scale is a scale factor (or percentage) of time to use for this current move. * Max_scale is a scale factor to apply to the resulting optimumTime. There seems to be some elo gain in most scenarios. Better performance is attributable to one of two things: * minThinkingTime was not allowing reasonable time calculations for very short games like 10+0 or 10+0.01. This is because adding almost no increment and substracting move overhead for 50 moves quickly results in almost 0 time very early in the game. Master depended on minThinkingTime to handle these short games instead of good time management. This patch addresses this issue by lowering minThinkingTime to 0 and adjusting moverOverhead if there are very low increments. * Notice that the time distribution curves tail downward for the first 10 moves or so. This causes less time to attribute for very early moves leaving more time available for middle moves where more important decisions happen. Here is a summary of tests for this version at different time controls: SMP 5+0.05 LLR: 2.97 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 46544 W: 7175 L: 7089 D: 32280 Elo +0.64 Ptnml(0-2): 508, 4826, 12517, 4914, 507 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/user/protonspring STC LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 20480 W: 3872 L: 3718 D: 12890 Elo +2.61 Ptnml(0-2): 295, 2364, 4824, 2406, 351 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebc343e7dd5693aad4e6873 STC, sudden death LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 7024 W: 1706 L: 1489 D: 3829 Elo +10.74 Ptnml(0-2): 149, 813, 1417, 938, 195 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebc346f7dd5693aad4e6875 STC, TCEC style LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 4192 W: 1014 L: 811 D: 2367 Elo +16.84 Ptnml(0-2): 66, 446, 912, 563, 109 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebc34857dd5693aad4e6877 40/10 LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 54032 W: 10592 L: 10480 D: 32960 Elo +0.72 Ptnml(0-2): 967, 6148, 12677, 6254, 970 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebc50597dd5693aad4e688d LTC, sudden death LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 9152 W: 1391 L: 1263 D: 6498 Elo +4.86 Ptnml(0-2): 75, 888, 2526, 1008, 79 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebc6f5c7dd5693aad4e689b LTC LLR: 2.98 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 12344 W: 1563 L: 1459 D: 9322 Elo +2.93 Ptnml(0-2): 70, 1103, 3740, 1171, 88 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebc6f4c7dd5693aad4e6899 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2678 Bench: 4395562 see source |

Fix this by reverting the TT.resize(0) logic in the previous commit, and instead, just call aligned_ttmem_free() in TranspositionTable::~TranspositionTable(). fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2677 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2679 No functional change see source |

Date: Thu May 14 20:34:15 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1589481255 Move 50 moves counter to initiative. simplify the usage of the 50 moves counter, moving it frome the scale factor to initiative. This patch was inspired by recent games where a blocked or semi-blocked position was 'blundered', by moving a pawn, into a lost endgame. This patch improves this situation, finding a more robust move more often. for example (1s searches with many threads): ``` FEN 8/p3kp2/Pp2p3/1n2PpP1/5P2/1Kp5/8/R7 b - - 68 143 master: 6 bestmove b5c7 6 bestmove e7e8 12 bestmove e7d8 176 bestmove e7d7 patch: 3 bestmove b5c7 5 bestmove e7d8 192 bestmove e7d7 ``` fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2620 the patch also tests well passed STC LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 50168 W: 9508 L: 9392 D: 31268 Elo +0.80 Ptnml(0-2): 818, 5873, 11616, 5929, 848 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebb07287dd5693aad4e680b passed LTC LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.50,0.50} Total: 7520 W: 981 L: 870 D: 5669 Elo +5.13 Ptnml(0-2): 49, 647, 2256, 760, 48 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5ebbff747dd5693aad4e6858 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2666 Bench: 4395562 see source |

This expert setting might improve speed, 5% - 30%, depending on the hardware, the number of threads and hash size. More for large hashes, large number of threads and NUMA. If the operating system can not allocate large pages (easier after a reboot), default allocation is used automatically.
