Changes

  • New neural net trained on total 7.1B positions. Introduced more high quality games from SPRT tests to the dataset (~220M positions) and random endgame positions scored with 7-man TB (~40M positions). Finetuning previous net for over 50B iterations.
  • Small speedup
  • Search improvements:
    • Prevent search explosions in LMR
    • Simplify LMR history formula
    • Additional history bonus based on score difference
    • Store eval in TT as soon as possible
    • Higher RFP margin if opponent is threating a capture
  • Use threats info to generate less illegal king moves
  • Tweak transposition table replacement scheme
