Subject: 100% accurate PV display
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4739037f967ac3c818907e89cc88c7b97021d027;hp=4739037f967ac3c818907e89cc88c7b97021d027

100% accurate PV display

This gives SF accurate PVs, such that the evaluation of the leaf node in
the PV matches the score backed up to the root (99% of the time.
q-search will use the value stored in the hash table instead of the eval
value sometimes).

One drawback is that fail-high/low only get a minimal 2 move PV.

It doesn't add any additional overhead to the non-PV codepath except an
extra eight bytes to the SearchStack structure in multi-threaded
searches.

A core part of this is not pruning based on TT score in PV nodes. This
was measured as not being a regression at multiple TCs, except for one
exception, fast TC with huge hash, which is not realistic for longer
searches.
