Add NNUE evaluation This patch ports the efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) evaluation to Stockfish. Both the NNUE and the classical evaluations are available, and can be used to assign a value to a position that is later used in alpha-beta (PVS) search to find the best move. The classical evaluation computes this value as a function of various chess concepts, handcrafted by experts, tested and tuned using fishtest. The NNUE evaluation computes this value with a neural network based on basic inputs. The network is optimized and trained on the evalutions of millions of positions at moderate search depth. The NNUE evaluation was first introduced in shogi, and ported to Stockfish afterward. It can be evaluated efficiently on CPUs, and exploits the fact that only parts of the neural network need to be updated after a typical chess move. [The nodchip repository](https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish) provides additional tools to train and develop the NNUE networks. This patch is the result of contributions of various authors, from various communities, including: nodchip, ynasu87, yaneurao (initial port and NNUE authors), domschl, FireFather, rqs, xXH4CKST3RXx, tttak, zz4032, joergoster, mstembera, nguyenpham, erbsenzaehler, dorzechowski, and vondele. This new evaluation needed various changes to fishtest and the corresponding infrastructure, for which tomtor, ppigazzini, noobpwnftw, daylen, and vondele are gratefully acknowledged. The first networks have been provided by gekkehenker and sergiovieri, with the latter net (nn-97f742aaefcd.nnue) being the current default. The evaluation function can be selected at run time with the `Use NNUE` (true/false) UCI option, provided the `EvalFile` option points the the network file (depending on the GUI, with full path). The performance of the NNUE evaluation relative to the classical evaluation depends somewhat on the hardware, and is expected to improve quickly, but is currently on > 80 Elo on fishtest: 60000 @ 10+0.1 th 1 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f28fe6ea5abc164f05e4c4c ELO: 92.77 +-2.1 (95%) LOS: 100.0% Total: 60000 W: 24193 L: 8543 D: 27264 Ptnml(0-2): 609, 3850, 9708, 10948, 4885 40000 @ 20+0.2 th 8 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f290229a5abc164f05e4c58 ELO: 89.47 +-2.0 (95%) LOS: 100.0% Total: 40000 W: 12756 L: 2677 D: 24567 Ptnml(0-2): 74, 1583, 8550, 7776, 2017 At the same time, the impact on the classical evaluation remains minimal, causing no significant regression: sprt @ 10+0.1 th 1 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f2906a2a5abc164f05e4c5b LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-6.00,-4.00} Total: 34936 W: 6502 L: 6825 D: 21609 Ptnml(0-2): 571, 4082, 8434, 3861, 520 sprt @ 60+0.6 th 1 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f2906cfa5abc164f05e4c5d LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-6.00,-4.00} Total: 10088 W: 1232 L: 1265 D: 7591 Ptnml(0-2): 49, 914, 3170, 843, 68 The needed networks can be found at https://tests.stockfishchess.org/nns It is recommended to use the default one as indicated by the `EvalFile` UCI option.

Remove EvalList This patch removes the EvalList structure from the Position object and generally simplifies the interface between do_move() and the NNUE code. The NNUE evaluation function first calculates the "accumulator". The accumulator consists of two halves: one for white's perspective, one for black's perspective. If the "friendly king" has moved or the accumulator for the parent position is not available, the accumulator for this half has to be calculated from scratch. To do this, the NNUE node needs to know the positions and types of all non-king pieces and the position of the friendly king. This information can easily be obtained from the Position object. If the "friendly king" has not moved, its half of the accumulator can be calculated by incrementally updating the accumulator for the previous position. For this, the NNUE code needs to know which pieces have been added to which squares and which pieces have been removed from which squares. In principle this information can be derived from the Position object and StateInfo struct (in the same way as undo_move() does this). However, it is probably a bit faster to prepare this information in do_move(), so I have kept the DirtyPiece struct. Since the DirtyPiece struct now stores the squares rather than "PieceSquare" indices, there are now at most three "dirty pieces" (previously two). A promotion move that captures a piece removes the capturing pawn and the captured piece from the board (to SQ_NONE) and moves the promoted piece to the promotion square (from SQ_NONE). An STC test has confirmed a small speedup: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f43f06b5089a564a10d850a LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-0.25,1.25} Total: 87704 W: 9763 L: 9500 D: 68441 Ptnml(0-2): 426, 6950, 28845, 7197, 434 closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3068 No functional change

Add NNUE evaluation This patch ports the efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) evaluation to Stockfish. Both the NNUE and the classical evaluations are available, and can be used to assign a value to a position that is later used in alpha-beta (PVS) search to find the best move. The classical evaluation computes this value as a function of various chess concepts, handcrafted by experts, tested and tuned using fishtest. The NNUE evaluation computes this value with a neural network based on basic inputs. The network is optimized and trained on the evalutions of millions of positions at moderate search depth. The NNUE evaluation was first introduced in shogi, and ported to Stockfish afterward. It can be evaluated efficiently on CPUs, and exploits the fact that only parts of the neural network need to be updated after a typical chess move. [The nodchip repository](https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish) provides additional tools to train and develop the NNUE networks. This patch is the result of contributions of various authors, from various communities, including: nodchip, ynasu87, yaneurao (initial port and NNUE authors), domschl, FireFather, rqs, xXH4CKST3RXx, tttak, zz4032, joergoster, mstembera, nguyenpham, erbsenzaehler, dorzechowski, and vondele. This new evaluation needed various changes to fishtest and the corresponding infrastructure, for which tomtor, ppigazzini, noobpwnftw, daylen, and vondele are gratefully acknowledged. The first networks have been provided by gekkehenker and sergiovieri, with the latter net (nn-97f742aaefcd.nnue) being the current default. The evaluation function can be selected at run time with the `Use NNUE` (true/false) UCI option, provided the `EvalFile` option points the the network file (depending on the GUI, with full path). The performance of the NNUE evaluation relative to the classical evaluation depends somewhat on the hardware, and is expected to improve quickly, but is currently on > 80 Elo on fishtest: 60000 @ 10+0.1 th 1 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f28fe6ea5abc164f05e4c4c ELO: 92.77 +-2.1 (95%) LOS: 100.0% Total: 60000 W: 24193 L: 8543 D: 27264 Ptnml(0-2): 609, 3850, 9708, 10948, 4885 40000 @ 20+0.2 th 8 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f290229a5abc164f05e4c58 ELO: 89.47 +-2.0 (95%) LOS: 100.0% Total: 40000 W: 12756 L: 2677 D: 24567 Ptnml(0-2): 74, 1583, 8550, 7776, 2017 At the same time, the impact on the classical evaluation remains minimal, causing no significant regression: sprt @ 10+0.1 th 1 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f2906a2a5abc164f05e4c5b LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) {-6.00,-4.00} Total: 34936 W: 6502 L: 6825 D: 21609 Ptnml(0-2): 571, 4082, 8434, 3861, 520 sprt @ 60+0.6 th 1 https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5f2906cfa5abc164f05e4c5d LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-6.00,-4.00} Total: 10088 W: 1232 L: 1265 D: 7591 Ptnml(0-2): 49, 914, 3170, 843, 68 The needed networks can be found at https://tests.stockfishchess.org/nns It is recommended to use the default one as indicated by the `EvalFile` UCI option.
