ProDeo 3.1 - The PESTO version

[dkappe]

Can't remember that I shared PST's a couple of months ago, I do remember I once did years ago. You will have to refresh my memory

I was thinking of the ones from this thread: http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.p ... ece+square

Indeed, forgot all about it.

Refreshed regards.

I might give this a try, for fun. So rip out existing PST's use the PESTO ones, keep everything else 'as is'. Test..

PESTO stands for Piece Square Tables Only as described on the Rofchade website by Dutchman Ronald Friederich and later implemented in TSCP by Rodent author Pawel Koziol which gave TSCP an 200 elo boast.

Inspired by this I implemented PESTO in ProDeo (on top of the existing PST's) just for the fun of it and for a 3 days work (one day programming, two days testing) the results (+50 elo) are very good for ProDeo. I therefore can recommend every engine programmer to give it the same try, hence this release.

I think you need to contact the author then, Pawel from Rodent.

Thanks Ed for this new release
I'm eager to test the PeSTO version !

I'm think in the next MinimalChess version I will add suport for PSTs (because it's just such a huge strength boost) and I was thinking of keeping them as seperate files beside the engine so users could edit them. Maybe you could even have different versions side by side and select one via UCI option. That way you could easily compare different PSTs in a fair competition.

Already downloaded this engine a few days back.
Thanks a lot for this new engine Ed!
Interesting to note that there are still some new ideas being tried and tested.

I was also with the impression that NNUE have this type of system, I mean probably having thousands of stored
PST and dynamically picks up the correct PST depending on ECO openning, also phase of the game (mid, or endgame), and also
pawn structure (closed, or open), pieces left and pawns left. Saw in Rofchade PeSTO website it currently used 2 tables, 1 for openning and another for endgame.
