Update: Scorpio 2.2 (WB)
with C++ source code
- Improved parallel search.
- Separate eval cache and pawn cache for each thread. And now 4 entries are probed in TT instead of 2
- Modified pondering strategy (still needs some work..)
- Aggressive lazy evaluation (70% ! ). I don't do full evals during null moves -- This seems to help survival against fast searchers
- A few eval changes here and there
- Search with 0.75 * UNITDEPTH increment
- Book generation tool for Salvo
- New book lines by salvo for ACCA
- And last but not least, I have switched to a new testing methodology I mentioned above,
suggested by guys at Olivier's broadcast. Which reminds me that I am so bored without
the broadcasts nowadays. Wish you well Olivier!
