Date: Wed Sep 2 16:19:30 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1599056370 Stockfish 12 Official release version of Stockfish 12 Bench: 3624569 ----------------------- It is our pleasure to release Stockfish 12 to users world-wide Downloads will be freely available at https://stockfishchess.org/download/ This version 12 of Stockfish plays significantly stronger than any of its predecessors. In a match against Stockfish 11, Stockfish 12 will typically win at least ten times more game pairs than it loses. This jump in strength, visible in regular progression tests during development[1], results from the introduction of an efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) for the evaluation in Stockfish[2], and associated tuning of the engine as a whole. The concept of the NNUE evaluation was first introduced in shogi, and ported to Stockfish afterward. Stockfish remains a CPU-only engine, since the NNUE networks can be very efficiently evaluated on CPUs. The recommended parameters of the NNUE network are embedded in distributed binaries, and Stockfish will use NNUE by default. Both the NNUE and the classical evaluations are available, and can be used to assign values to positions that are later used in alpha-beta (PVS) search to find the best move. The classical evaluation computes this value as a function of various chess concepts, handcrafted by experts, tested and tuned using fishtest. The NNUE evaluation computes this value with a neural network based on basic inputs. The network is optimized and trained on the evaluations of millions of positions. The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts that contribute their expertise, time, and resources to build a free and open source chess engine that is robust, widely available, and very strong. We invite chess fans to join the fishtest testing framework and programmers to contribute on github[3]. Stay safe and enjoy chess! The Stockfish team [1] https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki/Regression-Tests [2] https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/84f3e867903f62480c33243dd0ecbffd342796fc [3] https://stockfishchess.org/get-involved/ see source |

It allows non-default nets to be used, which will be looked for in up to three directories (working directory, location of the binary, and optionally a specific default directory). This mechanism is also kept for those developers that use MSVC, the one compiler that doesn't have an easy mechanism for embedding data.

Date: Wed Aug 26 07:11:26 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1598418686 Remove EvalList This patch removes the EvalList structure from the Position object and generally simplifies the interface between do_move() and the NNUE code. The NNUE evaluation function first calculates the "accumulator". The accumulator consists of two halves: one for white's perspective, one for black's perspective. If the "friendly king" has moved or the accumulator for the parent position is not available, the accumulator for this half has to be calculated from scratch. To do this, the NNUE node needs to know the positions and types of all non-king pieces and the position of the friendly king. This information can easily be obtained from the Position object. If the "friendly king" has not moved, its half of the accumulator can be calculated by incrementally updating the accumulator for the previous position. For this, the NNUE code needs to know which pieces have been added to which squares and which pieces have been removed from which squares. In principle this information can be derived from the Position object and StateInfo struct (in the same way as undo_move() does this). However, it is probably a bit faster to prepare this information in do_move(), so I have kept the DirtyPiece struct. Since the DirtyPiece struct now stores the squares rather than "PieceSquare" indices, there are now at most three "dirty pieces" (previously two). A promotion move that captures a piece removes the capturing pawn and the captured piece from the board (to SQ_NONE) and moves the promoted piece to the promotion square (from SQ_NONE). An STC test has confirmed a small speedup: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f43f06b5089a564a10d850a LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-0.25,1.25} Total: 87704 W: 9763 L: 9500 D: 68441 Elo +1.04 Ptnml(0-2): 426, 6950, 28845, 7197, 434 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3068 No functional change see source |

Date: Mon Aug 24 12:09:04 2020 +0200 Timestamp: 1598263744 Introduce countermove based pruning for qsearch This patch continues work of previous patch in introducing pruning heuristics in qsearch by analogy to main search, now with countermove based pruning. Idea is that if move is late enough and is quite check (we do generate them in qsearch) and has bad enough countermove history - prune it. passed STC https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f41220287a5c3c63d8f53c5 LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-0.25,1.25} Total: 35944 W: 4127 L: 3929 D: 27888 Elo +1.91 Ptnml(0-2): 196, 2970, 11459, 3134, 213 passed LTC https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f41862f87a5c3c63d8f53e8 LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) {0.25,1.25} Total: 138448 W: 7655 L: 7252 D: 123541 Elo +1.01 Ptnml(0-2): 145, 6247, 56043, 6638, 151 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3058 Bench: 3610676 see source |
