Raid Engines

I mean Raid vs these Stockfish https://github.com/official-stockfish/S ... ase%3Atrue

How are the tests with the latest Stockfish betas?

Mr MZ's suggestion:

REMOVED
code:
PRNG rng(1070372);

for (Piece pc : Pieces)
for (Square s = SQ_A1; s <= SQ_H8; ++s)
Zobrist::psq[pc] = rng.rand<Key>();

for (File f = FILE_A; f <= FILE_H; ++f)
Zobrist::enpassant[f] = rng.rand<Key>();

for (int cr = NO_CASTLING; cr <= ANY_CASTLING; ++cr)
Zobrist::castling[cr] = rng.rand<Key>();

Zobrist::side = rng.rand<Key>();

You mean comparing the one suggested by MZ and the one that I made?
If yes, there's not much difference

Or against other sf derivatives such as Tactical and the like?

Tests were based on the first one. It's performance is good. A few testers were involved as well. You can test it for yourself and see

If you see me releasing it means on my tests Raid came up Top.

Raid v2.75 Recon with self learning.
Thank you my beta testers, i appreciate you

you can create any exp file with a Sugar tool or Eman tool etc. and add to raid folder and rename to Raid.exp or let the engine create its own.

Sad, sorry!
I wanted to see what's new in Raid and I can't find anything. Only one code in the search was not taken from "Stockfish dev by Stefan Geschwentner" but the old line was kept. I don't know why I should use Raid? The author should (this is my opinion) tell people that Raid = Stockfish dev, and that the only thing implemented is the Polyglot book and the Sugar AI learning file. And this is not the author's own work, but copy & paste from SugaR AI. Compare yourself, I have attached both search.cpp files:

https://pixeldrain.com/u/x2uESANj

Raid v2.78i_X is 99,999% identical in search to Stockfish dev, Author: Stefan Geschwentner Date: Sun Oct 8. The only difference is in Step 20 (search.cpp) where RAID prefers an older Stockfish dev. entry, see at the bottom.

STOCKFISH DEV:

Author: Stefan Geschwentner
Date: Sun Oct 8 07:46:26 2023 +0200
Timestamp: 1696743986

Simplify collection of bad moves for history updates.

Search.cpp: Changes in Step 20 changed (by S. Gschwentner).

SF Gschwentner:

// If the move is worse than some previously searched move, remember it, to update its stats later
if (move != bestMove && moveCount <= 32)
{
if (capture)
capturesSearched[captureCount++] = move;

else
quietsSearched[quietCount++] = move;
}

Raid v2.78i_X:

// If the move is worse than some previously searched move, remember it, to update its stats later
if (move != bestMove)
{
if (capture && captureCount < 32)
capturesSearched[captureCount++] = move;

else if (!capture && quietCount < 64)
quietsSearched[quietCount++] = move;
}


Stockfish dev. previous versions, identical with Raid Raid v2.78i_X:

// If the move is worse than some previously searched move, remember it, to update its stats later
- if (move != bestMove)
+ if (move != bestMove && moveCount <= 32)
{
- if (capture && captureCount < 32)
if (capture)
capturesSearched[captureCount++] = move;

- else if (!capture && quietCount < 64)
+ else
quietsSearched[quietCount++] = move;
