Stockfish - UCI chess engine, compiled by Syzygy1 Rating JCER=3294 Timestamp: 1603924837 Do not skip non-recapture ttMove when in check The qsearch() MovePicker incorrectly skips a non-recapture ttMove when in check (if depth <= DEPTH_QS_RECAPTURES). This is clearly not intended and can cause qsearch() to return a mate score when there is no mate. Introduced in cad300c and 6596f0e, as observed by joergoster in #3171 and #3198. This PR fixes the bug by not skipping the non-recapture ttMove when in check.

Eubos - a  basic Java chess engine, written for kicks. Uses jcpi for the UCI protocol parts. Kind of weak, doesn't evaluate for king safety, for example. Now uses transpostion hashing, but because it runs in the Java VM on a bog standard PC, doesn't search very deeply (around 100K Nodes/s, though this is actually quite hard to evaluate due to the hashing).  Rating JCER= 2471 v.1.1.4: Now running nearly twice as fast as v1.0.6. Bug fixes when scoring mate positions in the hash table; Eubos now finds deeper mating sequences, for example Mate-in-7+, reliably. You must have installed Java version 8 on the PC to use Eubos (get it from java.com) To install Eubos as an engine in Arena: 1. Select Engines > Install New Engine 2. In the file browser dialog that appears, change the drop down to *.bat 3. Navigate to the Eubos binary location, select the Eubos.bat 4. Select UCI protocol to communicate with Eubos 5. That's it!  Author: Chris Bolt Eubos 1.1.4 downloa...

Halogen - UCI chess engine Author: Kieren Pearson  Rating JCER=2707  In self testing, Halogen 8 is approximately 200 elo stronger than Halogen 7. Halogen 8 features a larger neural network than was contained in Halogen 7, but due to improvements and optimisations runs significantly faster. The current network was trained using a private neural network trainer written in C by @AndyGrant. I can't thank Andrew enough for the work he has done to support the development of Halogen. As always, multiple builds are provided below. Halogen8-x64-AVX2.exe is recommended if it will run on your computer. Ideally, download each exe and run each with a bench command and use the one with the highest nodes per second (nps). It is not recommended that you compile it yourself because it is currently experiencing significant slowdowns in multithreaded mode when compiled with gcc.

Stockfish - UCI chess engine, compiled by syzygy1 Rating JCER=3294 Timestamp: 1603392616 More incremental accumulator updates This patch was inspired by c065abd which updates the accumulator, if possible, based on the accumulator of two plies back if the accumulator of the preceding ply is not available. With this patch we look back even further in the position history in an attempt to reduce the number of complete recomputations. When we find a usable accumulator for the position N plies back, we also update the accumulator of the position N-1 plies back because that accumulator is most likely to be helpful later when evaluating positions in sibling branches. By not updating all intermediate accumulators immediately, we avoid doing too much work that is not certain to be useful. Overall, roughly 2-3% speedup. This patch makes the code more specific to the net architecture, changing input features of the net will require additional changes to the incremental update code as...
