Stockfish is doesn't seem to find hardware instructions on MSVC++ 32-bit. 32-bit MSVC++ doesn't have 64-bit functions like _BitScanForward64().
So, instead of:
Maybe you can contribute even more, by helping the Stockfish team improve their engine.. Commercial engines like Komodo need to be knocked out in the next TCEC season. I am sure that SF team would greatly appreciate all the help you can give them, since they seem to be stucked in improving their engine.

I love Stockfish. So if I would ever be able to join Stockfish team, it'll be my pleasure. And yes, it hurts to see that SF lost TCEC.
But I don't know where I should start. I mean, I have heard but technically don't know any Stockfish weaknesses. If anyone has an idea, then I can surely work on it...
Komodo won the match because it got more wins in closed positions. Stockfish main weakness is it does not know how to play closed games Komodo clearly outplayed SF in closed positions. If you can improve Stockfish in how to play better closed games, it might be able to beat Komodo in next TCEC season... Just my 2 cents

Really? I'd look into the matter. Also, Stockfish seems ro be stupid in some endgames, but much less than other engines.
In closed positions, this might be caused by over-pruning..

...and in Worpd Computer Chess Championship.
But the bottomside is, the Stockfish maintainers and team knows how difficult it is to do...
