Perft problems...

In an effort to avoid being the perennial 'Mr Irrelevant' I am slowly re-writing Numpty from scratch. I have been testing my movegen with perft and after a lot of work have been able to successfully match up with a sample of positions on Reinhard's site which has been a great resource for me (thanks)
However in testing my castling code (using Sharper as the benchmark) I keep finding problems with the following simple position:
[D]7k/8/8/8/8/8/7P/4K2R w K - 0 1
Here at 7ply Sharper has:
Code: Select all
e1f2 539503
e1d2 537381
e1e2 535628
e1f1 133292

h1f1 282164

28-26 282164 nodes
38-58 217752 nodes

Total moves at root = 10
Total node count = 3058071
Time = 6.547852s
Average nodes/sec = 467034
At this depth I keep finding discrepancies with pawn moves (h3 and h4). Nodes match exactly at 6 ply and using divide with reducing depth from 7 ply I get the correct nodes at 5 ply also so it looks a well hidden problem. (I've since tried HG's qperft which seems to provide still different node counts from 5 ply upwards - so perhaps my initial question is what is the correct perft(7) for this position?)
There must be something wrong with my castling code as perft works (v Sharper) in the same position with no castling rights and interestingly also works with castling rights but without the h2 pawn. Yet it fails with a white pawn seemingly anywhere on the second or third rank.
I'm assuming that there must be illegal O-O's in the last ply (I have 1291 O-O at 7 ply - is someone able to confirm the true figure for me?). I was initially labouring under the assumption it might be the rook returning to h1 and then castling (eg h4, Rh3, Rh1 and O-O) but then this error should perhaps manifest itself at an earlier depth (eg Rg1, Rh1 and O-O) (ie 5 ply) and it works with no h2 pawn anyway.
After much effort I still can't see or find the problem but would much appreciate any comparable figures or suggestions from more experienced programmers if I'm missing something glaringly obvious (likely!)
Many thanks for any help.

ATM I don't have any move-based counters, but I can confirm Sharper's perfts.

Did you compare the 6-ply figures after the h3 or h4 moves?
Here's perft(6) after h4:
Fen: 7k/8/8/8/7P/8/8/4K2R b K h3 0 1
h8g8 62641
h8g7 94266
h8h7 60238
Perft(6): 217145 nodes.
Do you get matching results?

You are going through what I went through 2 weeks ago - 2 days to write the movegen and 10 to get the bugs out. Most of my bugs were in the castling code and I would recommend you look at the code that cancels castling rights when the king/rook has been moved or the rook is captured. Having said that I don't think white's castling rights can be cancelled in this position (the black king can't capture the white rook in 7 ply).
I went to the trouble of implementing an EPD test that lets me run a perftsuite with a bespoke 'perftX' opcode. This was taken from the ROCE engine, where the opcode was 'dX'. It's worth effort as it can also be used to process 'am', 'bm', 'pm' and 'pv' opcodes to test the search as well.

Are you sure you were using a recent version of qperft? (Some earlier versions, of ~6 months ago, had a FEN reader that messed up the castling rights.) When I try it with the version that is on my website, it does get the same perft(7) as Sharper:

Hi Harm-Geert
Are you sure you were using a recent version of qperft? (Some earlier versions, of ~6 months ago, had a FEN reader that messed up the castling rights.) When I try it with the version that is on my website, it does get the same perft(7) as Sharper:
Thanks for responding - this is odd, with qperft I get:
5 ply = 33154
6 ply = 168175
7 ply = 3049317
I downloaded it from your site earlier this week.
Thanks for all the other suggestions and confirmations - I know what I'm aiming for. I will delete the relevant code have a few days away from it. and start again.

Did you compare the 6-ply figures after the h3 or h4 moves?
Here's perft(6) after h4:
Fen: 7k/8/8/8/7P/8/8/4K2R b K h3 0 1
h8g8 62641
h8g7 94266
h8h7 60238
Perft(6): 217145 nodes.
Do you get matching results?
Thanks Ilari, I did try this and no all are wrong, too many in each case.
Code: Select all
perft?? 6
98-87 94410 nodes
98-88 60326 nodes
98-97 62736 nodes
Total moves at root = 3
Total node count = 217472
Time = 0.4716797s
Average nodes/sec = 461058
but perft(5) after making any of these 3 moves is correct

Very odd indeed.
Did you use the source or the executable? I used the executable. Maybe I goofed in uploading the source.

It was the exe - it must be me I guess, but I've tried it more than once. How do I make a log and I will post the full output?
