Add support for playing in 'nodes as time' mode When running more games in parallel, or simply when running a game with a background process, due to how OS scheduling works, there is no guarantee that the CPU resources allocated evenly between the two players. This introduces noise in the result that leads to unreliable result and in the worst cases can even invalidate the result. For instance in SF test framework we avoid running from clouds virtual machines because are a known source of very unstable CPU speed. To overcome this issue, without requiring changes to the GUI, the idea is to use searched nodes instead of time, and to convert time to available nodes upfront, at the beginning of the game. When nodestime UCI option is set at a given nodes per milliseconds (npmsec), at the beginning of the game (and only once), the engine reads the available time to think, sent by the GUI with 'go wtime x' UCI command. Then it translates time in available nodes (nodes = npmsec * x), then feeds available nodes instead of time to the time management logic and starts the search. During the search the engine checks the searched nodes against the available ones in such a way that all the time management logic still fully applies, and the game mimics a real one played on real time. When the search finishes, before returning best move, the total available nodes are updated, subtracting the real searched nodes. After the first move, the time information sent by the GUI is ignored, and the engine fully relies on the updated total available nodes to feed time management. To avoid time losses, the speed of the engine (npms) must be set to a value lower than real speed so that if the real TC is for instance 30 secs, and npms is half of the real speed, the game will last on average 15 secs, so much less than the TC limit, providing for a safety 'time buffer'. There are 2 main limitations with this mode. 1. Engine speed should be the same for both players, and this limits the approach to mainly parameter tuning patches. 2. Because npms is fixed while, in real engines, the speed increases toward endgame, this introduces an artifact that is equivalent to an altered time management. Namely it is like the time management gives less available time than what should be in standard case. May be the second limitation could be mitigated in a future with a smarter 'dynamic npms' approach. Tests shows that the standard deviation of the results with 'nodestime' is lower than in standard TC, as is expected because now all the introduced noise due the random speed variability of the engines during the game is fully removed. Original NIT idea by Michael Hoffman that shows how to play in NIT mode without requiring changes to the GUI. This implementation goes a bit further, the key difference is that we read TC from GUI only once upfront instead of re-reading after every move as in Michael's implementation. No functional change.

Let ss->ply denote the number of plies from the root to the current node This patch lets ss->ply be equal to 0 at the root of the search. Currently, the root has ss->ply == 1, which is less intuitive: - Setting the rootNode bool has to check (ss-1)->ply == 0. - All mate values are off by one: the code seems to assume that mated-in-0 is -VALUE_MATE, mate-1-in-ply is VALUE_MATE-1, mated-in-2-ply is VALUE_MATE+2, etc. But the mate_in() and mated_in() functions are called with ss->ply, which is 1 in at the root. - The is_draw() function currently needs to explain why it has "ply - 1 > i" instead of simply "ply > i". - The ss->ply >= MAX_PLY tests in search() and qsearch() already assume that ss->ply == 0 at the root. If we start at ss->ply == 1, it would make more sense to go up to and including ss->ply == MAX_PLY, so stop at ss->ply > MAX_PLY. See also the asserts testing for 0 <= ss->ply && ss->ply < MAX_PLY. The reason for ss->ply == 1 at the root is the line "ss->ply = (ss-1)->ply + 1" at the start for search() and qsearch(). By replacing this with "(ss+1)->ply = ss->ply + 1" we keep ss->ply == 0 at the root. Note that search() already clears killers in (ss+2), so there is no danger in accessing ss+1. I have NOT changed pv[MAX_PLY + 1] to pv[MAX_PLY + 2] in search() and qsearch(). It seems to me that MAX_PLY + 1 is exactly right: - MAX_PLY entries for ss->ply running from 0 to MAX_PLY-1, and 1 entry for the final MOVE_NONE. I have verified that mate scores are reported correctly. (They were already reported correctly due to the extra ply being rounded down when converting to moves.) The value of seldepth output to the user should probably not change, so I add 1 to it. (Humans count from 1, computers from 0.) A small optimisation I did not include: instead of setting ss->ply in every invocation of search() and qsearch(), it could be set once for all plies at the start of Thread::search(). This saves a couple of instructions per node. No functional change (unless the search searches a branch MAX_PLY deep), so bench does not change.

I have NOT changed pv[MAX_PLY + 1] to pv[MAX_PLY + 2] in search() and qsearch().

I have verified that mate scores are reported correctly. (They were already reported correctly due to the extra ply being rounded down when converting to moves.) The value of seldepth output to the user should probably not change, so I add 1 to it. (Humans count from 1, computers from 0.) A small optimisation I did not include: instead of setting ss->ply in every invocation of search() and qsearch(), it could be set once for all plies at the start of Thread::search(). This saves a couple of instructions per node. No functional change (unless the search searches a branch MAX_PLY deep), so bench does not change.

Better document razoring Use ralpha instead of rbeta * rbeta is confusing people. It took THREE attempts to code razoring at PV nodes correctly in a recent test, because of the rbeta trick. Unnecessary tricks should be avoided. * The more correct and self-documenting way of doing this, is to say that we use a zero window around alpha-margin, not beta-margin. The fact that, because we only do it at PV nodes, alpha happens to be beta-1 and that the current stuff with rbeta works, may be correct, but is confusing. Remove the misleading and partially erroneous comment about returning v + margin: * comments should explain what the code does, not what it could have done. * this comment is partially wrong in saying that v+margin is "logical", and that it is "surprising" that is doesn't work. From a theoretical perspective, at least 3 ways of doing this are equally defendable: 1/ fail hard: return alpha: The most conservative. We bet that the search will fail low, but we don't know by how much and don't want to take risks. 2/ aggressive fail soft: return v (what the current code does). This corresponds to normal fail soft, with the added assumption that we don't care about the reduction effect (see below point 3/) 3/ conservative fail soft: return v + margin. If the reduced search (qsearch) gives us a score <= v, we bet that the non reduced search will give us a score <= v + margin. * Saying that 2/ is "logical" implies that 1/ and 3/ are not, which is arguably wrong. Besides, experimental results tell us that 2/ beats 3/, and that's not something we can argue against: experimental results are the only trusted metric. * Also, with the benefit of hindsight, I don't think the fact that 2/ is better than 3/ is surprising at all. The point is that it is YOUR turn to move, and you are assuming that by NOT playing (and letting the opponent capture your hanging pieces in QS) you cannot generally GAIN razor_margin(depth).

Let ss->ply denote the number of plies from the root to the current node This patch lets ss->ply be equal to 0 at the root of the search. Currently, the root has ss->ply == 1, which is less intuitive: - Setting the rootNode bool has to check (ss-1)->ply == 0. - All mate values are off by one: the code seems to assume that mated-in-0 is -VALUE_MATE, mate-1-in-ply is VALUE_MATE-1, mated-in-2-ply is VALUE_MATE+2, etc. But the mate_in() and mated_in() functions are called with ss->ply, which is 1 in at the root. - The is_draw() function currently needs to explain why it has "ply - 1 > i" instead of simply "ply > i". - The ss->ply >= MAX_PLY tests in search() and qsearch() already assume that ss->ply == 0 at the root. If we start at ss->ply == 1, it would make more sense to go up to and including ss->ply == MAX_PLY, so stop at ss->ply > MAX_PLY. See also the asserts testing for 0 <= ss->ply && ss->ply < MAX_PLY. The reason for ss->ply == 1 at the root is the line "ss->ply = (ss-1)->ply + 1" at the start for search() and qsearch(). By replacing this with "(ss+1)->ply = ss->ply + 1" we keep ss->ply == 0 at the root. Note that search() already clears killers in (ss+2), so there is no danger in accessing ss+1. I have NOT changed pv[MAX_PLY + 1] to pv[MAX_PLY + 2] in search() and qsearch(). It seems to me that MAX_PLY + 1 is exactly right: - MAX_PLY entries for ss->ply running from 0 to MAX_PLY-1, and 1 entry for the final MOVE_NONE. I have verified that mate scores are reported correctly. (They were already reported correctly due to the extra ply being rounded down when converting to moves.) The value of seldepth output to the user should probably not change, so I add 1 to it. (Humans count from 1, computers from 0.) A small optimisation I did not include: instead of setting ss->ply in every invocation of search() and qsearch(), it could be set once for all plies at the start of Thread::search(). This saves a couple of instructions per node. No functional change (unless the search searches a branch MAX_PLY deep), so bench does not change.

Threefold repetition detection Implement a threefold repetition detection. Below are the examples of problems fixed by this change. Loosing move in a drawn position. position fen 8/k7/3p4/p2P1p2/P2P1P2/8/8/K7 w - - 0 1 moves a1a2 a7a8 a2a1 The old code suggested a loosing move "bestmove a8a7", the new code suggests "bestmove a8b7" leading to a draw. Incorrect evaluation (happened in a real game in TCEC Season 9). position fen 4rbkr/1q3pp1/b3pn2/7p/1pN5/1P1BBP1P/P1R2QP1/3R2K1 w - - 5 31 moves e3d4 h8h6 d4e3 The old code evaluated it as "cp 0", the new code evaluation is around "cp -50" which is adequate. Brings 0.5-1 ELO gain. Passes [-3.00,1.00].

In its original form, repetition at root was not returned as an immediate draw. After retestimng testing both version with SPRT[-3, 1], both passed succesfully, but this version was chosen becuase more natural. There is an argument about MultiPV in which an extended draw at root may be sensible. See discussion here: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/925 For documentation, current version passed both at STC and LTC: STC LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00] Total: 51562 W: 9314 L: 9245 D: 33003 LTC LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00] Total: 115663 W: 14904 L: 14906 D: 85853 bench: 5468995
