CeeChess v1.3
(+100 ELO)
- added tapered evaluation and game phase interpolation (using the 24 value for game phase calculation)
- added new piece square tables for midgame and endgame (Lyudmils tables in the PSQT challenge)
- changed values for passed pawns in the midgame and endgame
- value the bishop pair more in the endgame
- more aggressive static null move pruning
I changed the name from SeeChess to CeeChess this release to remove the ambiguity of names, as there is already an engine named SEEchess. This release performs about ~2310 ELO according to self play, and I am currently running tests against a new suite of engines to confirm this rating increase.
