Improve stalemate detection during search
...
Currently SF’s quiescence search like most alpha-beta based engines
doesn’t verify for stalemate because doing it each leaf position is to
expensive and costs elo. However in certain positions this creates a
blindspot for SF, not recognizing soon enough that the opponent can
reach a stalemate by sacrifycing his last mobile heavy piece(s). This
tactical motif & it’s measure are similar to zugzwang & verification
search: the measure itself does not gain elo, but prevents SF from
loosing/drawing games in an awkward way.
The fix consists of 3 measures:
1. Make qsearch verify for stalemate on transitions to pure KP-material
for the side to move with our last Rook/Queen just been captured. In
fact this is the scenario where stalemate happens with highest
frequency. The stalemate-verification itself is optimized by merely
checking for pawn pushes & king mobility (captures were already
tried by qssearch)
2. Another culprit for the issue figured out to be SEE based pruning for
checks in step 14. Here often the move forcing the stalemate (or
forcing the opponent to not retake) get pruned away and it need to
much time to reach enough depth. To encounter this we verify
following conditions:
- a) side to move is happy with a draw (alpha < 0)
- b) we are about to sacrify our last heavy & unique mobile piece in
this position.
- c) this piece doesn’t move away from our kingring giving the king a
new square to move.
When all 3 conditions meet we don’t prune the move, because there
is a good chance that capturing the piece means stalemate.
3. Store terminal nodes (mates & stalemates) in TT with higher depth
than searched depth. This prevents SF from:
- reanalyzing the node (=trying to generate legal moves) in vain at
each iterative deepening step.
- overwriting an already correct draw-evaluation from a previous shallow
normal search by a qsearch which doesn’t recognize stalemate and might
store a verry erratic evaluation.
This is due to the 4 constant in the TT-overwrite condition: d -
DEPTH_ENTRY_OFFSET + 2 * pv > depth8 – 4 which allows qs to override
entries made by normal searches with depth <=4.
This 3hrd measure however is not essential for fixing the issue, but
tests (one of vdv & one of mine) seem to suggest that this measure
brings some small benefit.
Another other position where SF benefits from this fix is for instance
Position FEN 8/8/8/1B6/6p1/8/3K1Ppp/3N2kr w - - 0 1 bm f4 +M9
P.S.: Also this issue higly depends on the used net, how good the net is
at evaluate such mobility restricted positions. SF16 was pretty good in
solving 2rr4/5pBk/PqP3p1/1N3pPp/1PQ1bP1P/8/3R4/R4K2 b - - 0 40 bm Rxc6
(< 1 second) while SF16_1 with introduction of the dual net needs about
1,5 minutes and SF17.1 requires 3 minutes to find the drawing move Rxc6.
P.S.2: Using more threads produces indeterminism & using high hash
pressure makes SF reevaluate explored positions more often which makes
it more likely to solve the position. To have stable meaningful results
I tested therfore with one single thread and low hash pressure.

Check maximum time every iteration
...
This fixes a TCEC timeloss, where slow DTZ TB7 access, in combination
with syzygy PV extension, led to a timeloss.
While the extension code correctly aborted after spending moveOverhead/2
time, the mainThread did not search sufficient nodes (512 in > 1s) to
trigger the stop in check_time. At the same time, totalTime exceeded
tm.maximum() due to the factors multiplying tm.optimum().
This corner case is fixed by checking also against the tm.maximum() at
each iteration.
Even though this problem can't be triggered on fishtest, the patch was
verified there.

Do more reductions for cut nodes without a tt move
...
Logic is somewhat similar to IIR but in LMR.
Usually things like reducing more in IIR scale badly but this patch does
this in LMR where reducing more for cutNodes is in general good, so I
believe there is no non-linear scaling.

In line with previous scaling patches this one massively reduces
reduction for moves that don't go thru lmr for position without a tt
move.

VVLTC parameters tweak
...
Some notes:
- Both tests were conducted on top of #5848 .
- Based on tuning suggestions, the extension for capturing the
previously moved piece was removed/simplified. (Developers can attempt
to reintroduce it post-merge if needed.)
- Initially, bonusScale = std::max(bonusScale, -2); was included but
later removed in the second test upon Viz's request, however, it was
nearly non-functional anyway.
