Bad eval with 7 men syzygy

[Eduard]

Lc0 vs Stockfish (superfinal)

[d]8/6p1/8/p1bB3P/3k4/p7/K7/8 w - - 68 112

I see only 8 pieces, but the Bluefish (Stockfish) with 7 men Syzygy says -1,24.

Something needs to be improved here (please).

McCain loses 5 or 10 Elo to incorporate some of these ideas - - of course when you have an engine rated 3400 plus, as a user ( not a programmer) , do you really care about 5 or 10 Elo? , maybe or maybe not, - it's a tradeoff and there is no right or wrong answer, it's matter of personal preference..

[Eduard]

Eval was live at TCEC to see. Stockfish (Bluefish) runs on 176 Threads and 7-men Syzyzy in the analysis mode. In my opinion, eval should be clearly below 1.

It is believed by many that current Stockfish over evaluates any position relative to how most humans and and many other top engines by a range of 30% to 40%. So in that sense, the SF eval you are seeing is consistent with that opinion.

[Eduard]

It was funny to see (on the graphic) how the eval of about 1 in a move fell to zero at 7 pieces.

Left McCain running to simulate something on 128 cores.

Thanks!

Here is a analysis of McCain X1 arm8 on my Android Smartphone with only 6 men syzygy (see Attachment).

Thank You for this nice Android Engine, I found it in the MZ Chess Forum.

I vaguely recall Tord Romastad's post on fishcooking list where he explained that overvaluing drawn positions is actually good for modern selective search. Getting "good drawn position" might indicate that there is some conversion to superior ending along the way, but it has been pruned one way or the other. His post was a detailed response to user's query about some missing or deleted endgame scaling rule.

This is actually AB search emulating (A0-style) MCTS search. I.e. "this position is draw but some similar looking positions are not draw, so let's reflect that in our evaluation".
