There are some known techniques that will add 50-100 elo to it quite fast.
Thanks Daniel
I'm aware of only two techniques that add a lot of elo, one is nullmove and another lmr. I also got 100 elo thanks to Texel tuning evaluation.
Everything else was about accumulating enough small improvements.
So I wonder which known techniques you mean? Perhaps I'm missing something?
Yes, I mean also accumulating some things that should work on most engines. For example I compared it to Andscacs and I can suggest at first sight:
* Reduction of null move can be quite more ellaborated, and also can call directly to quiescence.
* Eval pruning - child node.
* Futility pruning - child node.
* Singular extension.
* In your current futility pruning your should be able to increase a lot the depth at which is applied.
* See pruning
* Different flavors of refutations.
* Update the history on tt cutoff.
I suppose that if you can apply those it will win a lot. I know is not that easy
