This was an idea of Gontran Lemaire (gonlem), but the graphs
he published did not seem accurate to me. I did my own graphs,
got my own constants and here is the result:
STC:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 42179 W: 8704 L: 8622 D: 24853

LTC:
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 17737 W: 2702 L: 2577 D: 12458

Note: we are now back to 70% draw rate in selfplay mode!

ct = Options["Contempt"] * PawnValueEg / 100; // From centipawns

- int sign = (bestValue > 0) - (bestValue < 0);

+ ct += int(std::round(48 * atan(float(bestValue) / 128)));
Eval::Contempt = (us == WHITE ? make_score(ct, ct / 2)
: -make_score(ct, ct / 2));
Eval::Contempt = (us == WHITE ? make_score(ct, ct / 2)
