Features:

Fix: engine was flagging on the last move before time control when using movestogo and increment.
Fix: generateCaptures was incorrect, producing illegal captures. Fixed and is now used by Quiescence Search.
Fix: edge case where check extension causes engine to search above max depth
Fix: duplicate moves appearing in at the end of the PV, due to updating PV from TT hit
Refactor: all code to align with better readability and Golang idioms
Refactor: PVS to be more like negamax, reduce number of recursive calls
Improvement: instead of using fixed LMR R value, use a logarithm-based formula used by Ethereal
Improvement: instead of futility pruning only at leaf nodes, use depth-based margin. Values from Blunder
Improvement: replace sorting for move ordering with selection-based approach. This is more efficient since there will be cutoffs early in the move list.
Feature: Add 50-move rule detection
Feature: Add version number to UCI greeting

We already have the new Fritz 20 program - what does it look like and how does it work?

The purchase process for the download version on the ChessBase website took only 5 minutes. Downloading the files from the cloud was even quicker. The installation itself, which involved five large files, took maybe 7 minutes, including restarting the system and entering the serial number I received upon purchase. The start image for Fritz 20 has a strange mosaic of colors; perhaps I'll get used to it. As you can see in the second screenshot, the program interface hasn't changed much; only the icons are different (we've been using Fritz 17 until now). It looks nice, but it's no major revolution. The next two screenshots show engine management and the installation of the UCI chess engine (here, Cataphract 1.1). As you can see, there are no changes. Screenshot no. 5 shows the analysis of some position by Fritz 20 engines. The changes are minimal - it is still very legible. Finally, on screen 6 we have the engine tournament table generated by Fritz 20 . I think it is sti...
