D) Do not give the bonus at all
In Diep i'm not giving a bonus at all. Some 10+ years ago i tested many games with and without, and it didn't help at all, also to my surprise.

I have the same experience.

From my (old) to-do-list:

1. King-safety and passed pawn: subtract 10-15-20-25% from the score, often the next ply the opponent can flatten the score.

2. In a quiet position after a series of captures add a penalty. Not seldom trouble starts afterwards.


Are you saying that the side wishing to stand pat after a series of captures should take a penalty for doing so? It's easy enough to test this, but it's hard for me to see why a capture series should favor the side making the last capture.

I meant the other way around. The one doing the last capture and entering a quiet position (assuming you have this kind of information at your disposal) could be given a penalty. I am thinking of positions the search delays a loss by captures.


That seems backwards to me. A typical situation is that I fork or pin you, you make a capture which forces a recapture, and now you have reached the depth where you can stand pat, although in reality you are losing. So the side making the last capture should get a bonus in this case, not a penalty as you suggest. So I actually now like the idea as I originally interpreted it, not as you explained above. Am I wrong, or did you mean to give a penalty to the side on-move, which is the opposite of the side who made the last capture?


If I understand correctly, Komodo already does something similar. In qsearch it gives a small bonus when the last move was not a capture.


How do you know?
