Alaric Development Log

I corrected a bug and the program went worse...
What does that indicate? I suppose that there is another bug that interference with the other. So now I will start a big test. Described below.
The bug
In the Quiescense I should have something like this:
pmove=GenMoves(....) // will set pointer to first pmove
while (pmove->ok) {
....MakeMove(pmove)
....pmove=GenMoves(....) // will set next pmove pointer
}
the bug was that I had MakeMove(pmove++) meaning that every second capture was removed from Quiescense!
When I fixed this bug the program went worse. At least in my first tests.

The big test
I suspect that one of my extensions/prunings are the source for this. The tournament will consist of:

• AlaricAll (Everything on)
• AlaricClean (No nothing on. Just search)
• AlaricHa (Hashtab on - nothing else)
• AlaricSt (Statistical prune on - nothing else)
• AlaricTo (Tords Prob FH pruning on - nothing else)
• AlaricIID (IID on - nothing else)
• AlaricSEE (SEE on - nothing else)
• AlaricPV (FullPV on - nothing else) No prune if (beta-alpha>1)
• AlaricDr (Draw detection on - nothing else) Detect eternal draws
• AlaricNoHa (Everything on except Hashtabs)
• AlaricNoSt (Everything on except Statistical pruning)
• AlaricNoTo (Everything on except Tords ProbFH pruning)
• AlaricNoIID (Everything on except IID)
• AlaricNoSEE (Everything on except SEE)
• AlaricNoPV (Everything on except Full PV)
• AlaricNoDr (Everything on except Draw detection)

I will start with a gauntlet AlaricAll vs the rest with the Nunn positions.
