Stockfish 16.1

Official release version of Stockfish 16.1

Bench: 1303971

---

Stockfish 16.1

Today, we have the pleasure to announce Stockfish 16.1. As always, you can
freely download it at https://stockfishchess.org/download and use it in the GUI
of your choice[1].

Don't forget to join our Discord server[2] to get in touch with the community of
developers and users of the project!

*Quality of chess play*

In our testing against its predecessor, Stockfish 16.1 shows a notable
improvement in performance, with an Elo gain of up to 27 points and winning over
2 times more game pairs[3] than it loses.

*Update highlights*

*Improved evaluation*

- Updated neural network architecture: The neural network architecture has
undergone two updates and is currently in its 8th version[4].
- Removal of handcrafted evaluation (HCE): This release marks the removal of the
traditional handcrafted evaluation and the transition to a fully neural
network-based approach[5].
- Dual NNUE: For the first time, Stockfish includes a secondary neural
network[6], used to quickly evaluate positions that are easily decided.

*UCI Options removed*

`Use NNUE` and `UCI_AnalyseMode`[7] have been removed as they no longer had any
effect. `SlowMover`[8] has also been removed in favor of `Move Overhead`.

*More binaries*

We now offer 13 new binaries. These new binaries include `avx512`, `vnni256`,
`vnni512`, `m1-apple-silicon`, and `armv8-dotprod`, which take advantage of
specific CPU instructions for improved performance.
For most users, using `sse41-popcnt` (formerly `modern`), `avx2`, or `bmi2`
should be enough, but if your CPU supports these new instructions, feel free to
try them!

*Development changes*

- Updated testing book: This new book[9], now derived exclusively from the open
Lichess database[10], is 10 times larger than its predecessor, and has been
used to test potential improvements to Stockfish over the past few months.
- Consolidation of repositories: Aiming to simplify access to our resources, we
have moved most Stockfish-related repositories into the official Stockfish
organization[11] on GitHub.
- Growing maintainer team: We welcome Disservin[12] to the team of maintainers
of the project! This extra pair of hands will ensure the lasting success of
Stockfish.

*Thank you*

The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts (thanks
everybody!) who contribute their expertise, time, and resources to build a free
and open-source chess engine that is robust, widely available, and very strong.

We would like to express our gratitude for the 10k stars[13] that light up our
GitHub project! Thank you for your support and encouragement – your recognition
means a lot to us.

We invite our chess fans to join the Fishtest testing framework[14], and
programmers to contribute to the project either directly to Stockfish[15] (C++),
to Fishtest[16] (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python), to our trainer
nnue-pytorch[17] (C++ and Python), or to our website[18] (HTML, CSS/SCSS, and
JavaScript).

Update the WDL model

Based on 130M positions from 2.1M games.

```
Look recursively in directory pgns for games from SPRT tests using books
matching "UHO_4060_v..epd|UHO_Lichess_4852_v1.epd" for SF revisions
between 8e75548f2a10969c1c9211056999efbcebe63f9a (from 2024-02-17
17:11:46 +0100) and HEAD (from 2024-02-17 17:13:07 +0100). Based on
127920843 positions from 2109240 games, NormalizeToPawnValue should
change from 345 to 356.
```

The patch only affects the UCI-reported cp and wdl values.

Update default main net to nn-b1a57edbea57.nnue

Created by retraining the previous main net `nn-baff1edbea57.nnue` with:
- some of the same options as before: ranger21, more WDL skipping
- the addition of T80 nov+dec 2023 data
- increasing loss by 15% when prediction is too high, up from 10%
- use of torch.compile to speed up training by over 25%

Use node counting to early stop search

This introduces a form of node counting which can
be used to further tweak the usage of our search
time.
The current approach stops the search when almost
all nodes are searched on a single move.

The idea originally came from Koivisto, but the
implemention is a bit different, Koivisto scales
the optimal time by the nodes effort and then
determines if the search should be stopped.
We just scale down the `totalTime` and stop the
search if we exceed it and the effort is large
enough.

Adjust best value in main search depending on depth

This patch does similar thing to how it's done for
qsearch - in case of fail high adjust result to
lower value. Difference is that it is done only
for non-pv nodes and it's depth dependent - so
lower depth entries will have bigger adjustment
and higher depth entries will have smaller
adjustment.

Remove unnecessary assignments related to adjusted static evaluation

In both search and qsearch, there are instances
where we do unadjustedStaticEval = ss->staticEval
= eval/bestValue = tte->eval(), but immediately
after re-assign ss-static and eval/bestValue to
some new value, which makes the initial assignment
redundant.

Tweak capture scoring for move ordering

Move divisor from capture scoring to good capture
check and sligthly increase it.

This has several effects:
- its a speedup because for quience and probcut
search the division now never happens. For main
search its delayed and can be avoided if a good
capture triggers a cutoff
- through the higher resolution of scores we have
a more granular sorting
