Stockfish 9 releasedBack to forum Thibault de Vassal (2018-02-15) Stockfish 9 released It seems that Stockfish 9 is now available... Did anyone test it already? http://stockfishchess.org/download/ Any improvement "noticed"? (seems hard to notice anything anymore :)) We'll see what rating it reaches on CEGT lists... Garvin Gray (2018-02-16 01:25:26) Stockfish 9 released Probably a bit early to ask if any genuine improvements are noticeable, since its just been released :) One comment that I do remember from the recent Computer World Champs, where Houdini and Komodo made the finals, and Stockfish 8 missed out by a whisker, was that each of the programmers said that Stockfish did not convert some positions because it did not have as high a contempt factor as Houdini and Komodo. So it is likely that for Stockfish 9, this is an area that the programmers have worked on. Kym Farnik (2018-02-16 09:21:20) Stockfish 9 released FYI Development builds now have dynamic contempt. Author: Stefano Cardanobile Date: Fri Feb 9 19:07:19 2018 +0100 Timestamp: 1518199639 Introduce dynamic contempt Make contempt dependent on the current score of the root position. The idea is that we now use a linear formula like the following to decide on the contempt to use during a search : contempt = x + y * eval where x is the base contempt set by the user in the "Contempt" UCI option, and y * eval is the dynamic part which adapts itself to the estimation of the evaluation of the root position returned by the search. In this patch, we use x = 18 centipawns by default, and the y * eval correction can go from -20 centipawns if the root eval is less than -2.0 pawns, up to +20 centipawns when the root eval is more than 2.0 pawns. To summarize, the new contempt goes from -0.02 to 0.38 pawns, depending if Stockfish is losing or winning, with an average value of 0.18 pawns by default.
