Date: Mon Dec 9 00:16:55 2019 +0100 Timestamp: 1575847015 Fix output of PV lines with invalid scores #2439 As reported on the forum it is possible, on very rare occasions, that we are trying to print a PV line with an invalid previousScore, although this line has a valid actual score. This patch fixes output of PV lines with invalid scores in a MultiPV search. This is a follow-up patch to 8b15961 and makes the fix finally complete. The reason is the i <= pvIdx condition which probably is a leftover from the times there was a special root search function. This check is no longer needed today and prevents PV lines past the current one (current pvIdx) to be flagged as updated even though they do have a valid score. https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/8b15961349e18a9ba113973c53f53913d0cd0fad https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/fishcooking/PrnoDLvMvro No functional change. see source |

Date: Sun Nov 24 00:34:43 2019 +0100 Timestamp: 1574552083 King danger: retire attacked-by-bishop defense In a recent commit, "Introduce king flank defenders," a term was introduced by Michael Chaly (@Vizvezdenec) to reduce king danger based on king defenders, i.e., friendly attacks on our King Flank and Camp. This is a powerful idea and broadly applicable to all of our pieces. An earlier, but narrower, version of a similar idea was already coded into king danger, with a term reducing king danger simply if we had a bishop and king attacking the same square -- there is also a similar term for knights, but roughly three times larger. I had attempted to tweak this term's coefficient fairly recently, in a series of tests in early September which increased this coefficient. All failed STC with significantly negative scores. Now that the king flank defenders term has been introduced, it appears that the bishop-defense term can be simplified away without compensation or significant Elo loss. Where do we go from here? This PR is a natural follow-up to "Introduce king flank defenders," which proposed simplification with existing and overlapping terms, such as this one. That PR also mentioned that the coefficient it introduced appeared arbitrary, so perhaps this PR can facilitate a tweak to increase king flank defenders' coefficient. Additionally, this pull request is extremely similar to https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/1821, which was (coincidentally) merged a year ago, to the day (November 23, 2018). That patch also simplified away a linear king danger tropism term, which was soon after replaced with a quadratic term by @Vizvezdenec (which would not have passed without the simplification). @Vizvezdenec, again by coincidence, has recently been trying to implement a quadratic term, this time for defenders rather than attackers. This history of this evaluation code suggests that this simplification might be enough to help a patch for quadratic king-flank defenders pass.

This is done be computing a running average of ttHit. The ttHitAverage rate is somewhat low (e.g. 30% for startpos) in the normal case, while it can be very high if no progress is made (e.g. 90% for the fortress I used for testing). This information can be used to influence search. In this patch, by adjusting reductions if the rate > 50%. A first version (using a low ttHitAverageResolution and this 50% threshold) passed testing: STC LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-1.50,4.50] Total: 26425 W: 5837 L: 5650 D: 14938 Elo +2.46 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcede8b0ebc5902563258fa LTC LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,3.50] Total: 32313 W: 5392 L: 5128 D: 21793 Elo +2.84 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcefb1f0ebc590256325c0e However, as discussed in pull request 2414, using a larger ttHitAverageResolution gives a better approximation of the underlying distributions. This needs a slight adjustment for the threshold as the new distributions are shifted a bit compared to the older ones, and this threshold seemingly is sensitive (we used 0.53125 here). https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2414 This final version also passed testing, and is used for the patch: STC LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-1.50,4.50] Total: 16025 W: 3555 L: 3399 D: 9071 Elo +3.38 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dd070b90ebc5902579e20c2 LTC LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,3.50] Total: 37576 W: 6277 L: 5998 D: 25301 Elo +2.58 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dd0f58e6f544e798086f224 Closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2414 Bench: 4989584 see source |

Date: Sat Nov 16 17:29:53 2019 +0100 Timestamp: 1573921793 Introduce king flank defenders This patch implements what we have been trying for quite some time - dependance of kingdanger on balance of attackers and defenders of king flank, to avoid overestimate attacking power if the opponent has enough defenders of king position. We already have some form of it in bishop and knight defenders - this is further work in this direction. What to do based on this? 1) constant 4 is arbitrary, maybe it is not optimal 2) maybe we can use quadratic formula as in kingflankattack 3) simplification into alrealy existing terms is always a possibility :) 4) overall kingdanger tuning always can be done. passed STC: http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcf40560ebc590256325f30 LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-1.50,4.50] Total: 26298 W: 5819 L: 5632 D: 14847 Elo +2.47 passed LTC: http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcfa5760ebc590256326464 LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,3.50] Total: 30600 W: 5042 L: 4784 D: 20774 Elo +2.93 Closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2415 Bench: 4496847 see source |

Date: Wed Nov 13 11:01:00 2019 +0100 Timestamp: 1573639260 Rank-based outposts Introduce OutpostRank[RANK_NB] which contains a bonus according to the rank of the outpost. We use it for the primary Outpost bonus. The values are based on the trends of the SPSA tuning run with some manual tweaks. Passed STC: LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-1.50,4.50] Total: 27454 W: 6059 L: 5869 D: 15526 Elo +2.40 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcadba20ebc590256922f09 Passed LTC: LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,3.50] Total: 57950 W: 9443 L: 9112 D: 39395 Elo +1.98 http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcaea880ebc5902569230bc Bench: 4778405 ---------------------------- The inspiration for this patch came from Stefan Geschwentner's attempt of modifying BishopPawns into a rank-based penalty. Michael Stembera suggested that maybe the S(0, 0) ranks (3rd, 7th and also maybe 8th) can still be tuned. This would expand our definition of Outpost and OutpostRanks would be removed altogether. Special thanks to Mark Tenzer for all the help and excellent suggestions. see source |

Date: Tue Nov 12 01:36:06 2019 +0100 Timestamp: 1573518966 Shallow depth pruning on NonPV advanced pawn push Usually advanced pawn pushes are not considered in shallow depth pruning because it is risky to do so with possible promotions near the horizon. However, this heuristic is not also beneficial on NonPV nodes since we can afford to take slightly more risk on less important nodes.
