Idea originated from a post of Don Dailey
on talkchess and reported by Eelco.
This is the last succesful attempt of a long
series of trials (as usually happens, the
'idea' alone is not enough).
Passed both short 15secs TC
LLR: 2.97 (-2.94,2.94)
Total: 7629 W: 1645 L: 1515 D: 4469
And long 60secs TC
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94)
Total: 10218 W: 1932 L: 1775 D: 6511
bench: 4944581
Here speed up is the name of the game.
Speed up is gained:
- Removing the useless enoughMaterial code
- Limiting trapped rook evaluation to where it counts
Tested at long TC:
LLR: 2.97 (-2.94,2.94)
Total: 10061 W: 1948 L: 1790 D: 6323
bench: 4558173
Just by adding the -flto option to CXXFLAGS link command
we can gain a few percent in speed.
On a Core i5-2500 (3300 Mhz, Sandy Bridge):
64 bit download version:
Without -flto: 1597151 n/s
With -flto : 1659664 n/s
No functional change.
