Move ordering just uses MVV-LVA. At root, each best move is sorted first (with a stable sort) for the next depth iteration.mvanthoor wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 3:08 am+432 for Dumber. If the rating that was calculated for MMC in my gauntlets is anywhere near accurate, Dumber performs around 2000 Elo. What does it *exactly* have as a feature set? PVMove ordering, MVV-LVA, Killer, History heuristics, and a tuned (but not tapered) evaluation, with only PST's and material? (Or does it have other evaluation terms?) If that is all, I wonder if I can actually reach 2000 Elo with only that feature set in Rustic. I'd be happy if I can reach 2000 WITH a hash table.
Dumber seems to be very fast, being able to search to about 9 ply in the midgame. Must be the move sorting
Evaluation is tuned and tapered and just uses material, PST and tempo. The Pesto's weights (from tscp pesto) are better than dumber's ones.
