Changes
- New neural net trained on total 7.1B positions. Introduced more high quality games from SPRT tests to the dataset (~220M positions) and random endgame positions scored with 7-man TB (~40M positions). Finetuning previous net for over 50B iterations.
- Small speedup
- Search improvements:
- Prevent search explosions in LMR
- Simplify LMR history formula
- Additional history bonus based on score difference
- Store eval in TT as soon as possible
- Higher RFP margin if opponent is threating a capture
- Use threats info to generate less illegal king moves
- Tweak transposition table replacement scheme
