And passed in do_move(), this ensures maximum efficiency and
speed and at the same time unlimited move numbers.
The draw back is that to handle Position init we need to
reserve a StateInfo inside Position itself and use at
init time and when copying from another Position.
After lazy SMP we don't need anymore this gimmick and we can
get rid of this special case and always pass an external
StateInfo to Position object.
Also rewritten and simplified Position constructors.
Verified it does not regress with a 3 threads SMP test:
ELO: -0.00 +-12.7 (95%) LOS: 50.0%
Total: 1000 W: 173 L: 173 D: 654
No functional change.
Currently Search::RootMoves is accessed and even
modified by TB probing functions in a hidden
and sneaky way.
This is bad practice and makes the code tricky.
Instead explicily pass the vector as function
argument so to clarify that the vector is modified
inside the functions.
No functional change.
Adds support for Syzygy tablebases to Stockfish. See
the Readme for information on using the tablebases.
Tablebase support can be enabled/disabled at the Makefile
level as well, by setting syzygy=yes or syzygy=no.
Big/little endian are both supported.
No functional change (if Tablebases are not used).
