Brainfish - UCI chess engine, CEDR Rating=3217 From the author: Brainfish is a standard Stockfish chess engine extended by a general book format that is capable of handling a reduced part of Cerebellum, which is an innovative chess opening and playing book. In Brainfish, the book moves are only used in engine games, not in analysis mode. All moves in the published book Cerebellum_light.bin generated by Cerebellum were calculated by using Stockfish as analysis engine, without using statistics. Then those moves where recalulated by the Cerebellum Library using a graph algorithm that makes all scores in the library consistant. Consistant scores means for example, in case the starting position has a score of 0.2 and a best move is 1.e4, the position after 1.e4 must have the score -0.2.

Stockfish - UCI chess engine, i nteresting compiled by  Vizvezdenec Do lmr for more captures  Based on machinery introduced by vondele. Logic behind patch if relatively simple -  if we reduce less with high hit rate of transposition table somewhat logical is to  reduce more with low hit rate. For example enable all captures for LMR.  Threshold 0.375 is arbitrary and can be tweaked :)  STC  LLR: 2.97 (-2.94,2.94) [-1.50,4.50]  Total: 16495 W: 3591 L: 3434 D: 9470 Elo +3.31 LTC  LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,3.50]  Total: 23598 W: 3956 L: 3716 D: 15926 Elo +3.53 Rating JCER=3257 Stockfish 19112109 - download
