Changes
New neural net trained on total 4.5 billion positions generated in Caissa self-play games
experimenting with trainer hyperparameters, switched to Adam optimizer
~70B iterations
introduced positions from games started from a position sampled from high-quality tournament games with other engines (TCEC, CCRL, SP-CC)
introduced positions from SPRT games (both STC and LTC)
Introduce separate BMI2 binary version (uses more efficient PEXT move generation)
Improved continuation history heuristics
SPSA tuning search and move ordering parameters
Numerous search improvements:
better repetition handling
tweaking heuristics (LMR, IIR)
improved continuation history heuristics
Time manager tweaks (noticeable improvement in time control with big time increment)
Numerous small speedups
Started using PGO (profile-guided optimizations) for AVX2 and BMI2 builds
