It is only the fixed depth tests that I prefer v4, but there is no reason not to stop the search if one thread reaches the depth limit. It turns out Stockfish can be made stronger by simply repeating a single-threaded search at a given depth a number of times. In fact, it seems a single-threaded se...

Hi Joost,

I'm facing a self test issue ... I have a +40 in self-testing that seems to be in fact a -20 against others ... I'm quite aware that self-test are often over optimistic, but here :shock: :shock: This concern eval features that are taking into account "next move" possibilities (hanging pieces, forks...

Thanks for your help!

Late Move Pruning can just as easily be thought of as "Maximally Aggressive Late Move Reduction". Instead of, as in LMR, reducing the remaining depth of a move by some amount depending on how late it is in the move order, you simply reduce the remaining depth to 0, no matter what the remaining depth...

What I do is to send "feature done=0" before anything else, and send "feature done=1" once you are done with initialization. According to the protocol, this gives you upto 1 hour to do whatever you need. This is what I do as well in Myrddin. For some reason, sometimes initializing the Gaviota TBs t...
