Since you’re here...

... we have a small favour to ask. More people, like you, are reading and supporting our blog: "Chess Engines Diary". And unlike many other sites and blogs, we made the choice to keep our articles open for all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay.

We hope you will consider supporting us today. We need your support to continue to exist, because good entries are more and more work time. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support "Chess Engines Diary" even a small amount– and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

Stockfish 18011309 - new version!

Stockfish, chess engine UCI

Rating JCER = 3389
🔬 Author: Günther Demetz

Timestamp: 1515830483 
Simplify verification search (#1362) 

1. avoid recursive call of verification. 
For the interested side to move recursion makes no sense. 
For the other side it could make sense in case of mutual zugzwang, but I was not able to figure out any concrete problematic position. 
Allows the removal of 2 local variables. 

2. avoid further reduction by removing R += ONE_PLY; 

Benchmark with zugzwang-suite (see #1338), max 45 secs per position: 
Patch solves 33 out of 37 
Master solves 31 out of 37 

STC: 
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]

LTC: 
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00] 
Total: 40479 W: 5247 L: 5152 D: 30080
