[d]8/6n1/3p1p1p/2pPpPr1/1pP1B1P1/1P5N/4P1P1/k1K5 w - - 0 1 My composition, white to play and draw. I was tempted to add 'testposition' to the subject, but the position is more useful to make fun of engines than to test them. :wink: The point is that after 1.Nxg5 hxg5 white is lost, because the black...

For one win and one loss the likelihood becomes F(x-h) * (1 - F(x+h)) = (F - hF')* (1 - F - hF') + O(h^2) = = F * (1-F) -hF' * (1-F) - hF' * F + O(h^2) = F * (1-F) - hF' + O(h^2) (all F and F' taken in x unless specified otherwise). Now since F * (1-F) is proportional to F' and of O(1), this means ...

Is there some reason not to adapt also the increment? 2x Intel Xeon X5667 @ 4.60 GHz 12 28827 14m+15s 2x AMD Opteron 270 2.00 GHz 4 4581 185m+15s The way I see it, Xeon would have the number of nodes per game roughly twice as high as Opteron, and the additional nodes would come mainly from late midd...

I am back from vacation, so I can test more incrementally and thoroughly, because I have next to no time to code anything substantial. First, reacting to this older post: Another tweak. Test was unsuccessfull, bayeselo says original stockfish is better with LOS=87:12. :( But it was a lot of work, an...

All of my attempts to change the move ordering are hurting nps too much, so I decided to test another SMRC setup, this time with smaller steps. The quoted patch lost to slightly tweaked one +198 =586 -216 (LOS=27:72), where the slight tweak was just removing 'fail high' condition and nothing else t...

There was a discussion in the next singular extension test thread and I had no other good thing to test, so: Not sure I understand your point regarding SF's relaxed SE correctly. Is the following right? No, what you describe was indeed one possibility of implementing this SE thing, but you didn't no...

This one-reply-to-check extension extends on the escape, which means two consecutive plies are extended, once to give the check, and once to escape the check if there is only one legal move. The side in check and with single legal move is probably in serious danger, because "always check, it might ...
