+1 8e5392d79a Update NNUE architecture to SFNNv10 with Threat Inputs and net nn-49c1193b131c.nnue
This commit introduces Full Threat Input features, which are a subset of Piece(Square)-Piece(Square) pairs. In any given position, the active features consist of pairs where the second piece’s square lies in the attack set of the first piece. This is an extremely simplified explanation that leaves out many details. The already-used HalfKAv2_hm feature set completes the input features.
Minor quantization changes have also been made.

The net nn-49c1193b131c.nnue was trained by vondele using the following setup: https://github.com/vondele/nettest/blob/7de71238e9b295e3f88ed7c9c5936af632c9b981/threats.yaml

A graphical version of an earlier scheme (with less refinement) that illustrates the core concepts can be found attached.

Timothy HerchenandJoost VandeVondele 3bb01ce7a9 prefetch earlier if checKEP is false
Only a modest amount of work happens between the transposition table prefetch
and the probe, so the probe still often stalls waiting for DRAM. The vast
majority of the time (in particular, if !checkEP), the key is known much
earlier in the do_move function and the latency can be better hidden.

rn5f107s2andJoost VandeVondele 94175524b1 Only set ep square if ep capture is possible
for positions such as:

position fen rr6/2q2p1k/2P1b1pp/bB2P1n1/R2B2PN/p4P1P/P1Q4K/1R6 b - - 2 38 moves f7f5
position fen 8/p2r1pK1/6p1/1kp1P1P1/2p5/2P5/8/4R3 b - - 0 43 moves f7f5
position fen 4k3/4p3/2b3b1/3P1P2/4K3/8/8/8 b - - moves e7e5

ep is not possible for various reasons. Do not set the ep square and the do not change the zobrist key, as if ep were possible.

This fixes 3-fold detection, which could in rare cases be observed as a warning generated by fastchess for PVs that continued beyond an actual 3-fold.

Also fixes wrong evals for certain moves e.g. a2a1 for
position fen 4k3/1b2p2b/8/3P1P2/4K3/8/8/r7 b - - 0 1 moves e7e5 e4e3 a1a2 e3e4 a2a1 e4f3 a1a2 f3e4

This condition can never be true, it's superfluous.

It never triggers even with a bench 16 1 20 run.
To met the condition it would imply that the previous recapture was done
by a higher rated piece than a Queen.
This is only the case when the King recaptures and that's already
handled in line 1161: (return (attackers & ~pieces(stm)) ? res ^ 1).

- If we only need to know if attackers exist we can skip some
  calculations.
- Also calculating slider/magic attackers first is better because the
  double lookup is slow due to memory latency.
- I also included a couple of very minor cleanups in search that
  probably don't warrant their own PR but I can open separately if
  that's better.

The Zobrist keys for NO_PIECE are 0 so no need to special case captures.
Also the TranspositionTable reference passed to do_null_move() can be

Shawn XuandDisservin 60351b9df9 Introduce Various Correction histories
This patch introduces three additional correction histories, namely,
Major Piece Correction History, Minor Piece Correction History, and
Non-Pawn Correction History.

Introduced by @mcthouacbb in Sirius
(https://github.com/mcthouacbb/Sirius) chess engine. The Major Piece
Correction History is indexed by side-to-move and the Zobrist key
representing the position of the King, Rook, and Queen of both sides.
Likewise, the Minor Piece Correction History is indexed by side-to-move
and the Zobrist key representing the position of the King, Knight, and
Bishop of both sides.

Also See:
https://github.com/mcthouacbb/Sirius/commit/97b85bbaac88ff5a0f63e28776027dd3de77164e
https://github.com/mcthouacbb/Sirius/commit/3099cdef2f13e29805654b5f8153e6ecd5853195

Introduced by @zzzzz151 in Starzix (https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix)
chess engine. Non-Pawn correction history consists of side-to-move, side
of Zobrist key, and a Zobrist key representing of the position of all
non-pawn pieces of **one side**. The non-pawn correction values for both
key sides are then summed.

Also See:
https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix/commit/34911772f178c27b3a239dda0acb79c397c3a2f0
https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix/commit/33e0df8dd2db1d4775974ab12e3390154697f47a

The weights on the final correction value of the above correction
histories, as well as existing correction histories, are then tuned in
two separate SPSA sessions, totaling 75k games.

SPSA1:

Shahin M. ShahinandJoost VandeVondele 6b7822119f Limit has_game_cycle() to only upcoming repetition
use the original algorithm according to the paper
http://web.archive.org/web/20201107002606/https://marcelk.net/2013-04-06/paper/upcoming-rep-v2.pdf,
which detects accurately if a position has an upcoming repetition. The 'no
progress' part of has_game_cycle has been removed, the function has been
renamed to upcoming_repetition to reflect this.

As a result of this fix, to the best of our knowledge, all PVs for completed
iterations that yield a mate or decisive table base score now end in mate or
contain a TB position, respectively.

Disservin 299707d2c2 Split UCI into UCIEngine and Engine
This is another refactor which aims to decouple uci from stockfish. A new engine
class manages all engine related logic and uci is a "small" wrapper around it.

In the future we should also try to remove the need for the Position object in
the uci and replace the options with an actual options struct instead of using a
map. Also convert the std::string's in the Info structs a string_view.

These global structures/variables add hidden dependencies and allow data
to be mutable from where it shouldn't it be (i.e. options). They also
prevent Stockfish from internal selfplay, which would be a nice thing to
be able to do, i.e. instantiate two Stockfish instances and let them
play against each other. It will also allow us to make Stockfish a
library, which can be easier used on other platforms.

For consistency with the old search code, `thisThread` has been kept,
even though it is not strictly necessary anymore. This the first major
refactor of this kind (in recent time), and future changes are required,
to achieve the previously described goals. This includes cleaning up the
dependencies, transforming the network to be self contained and coming
up with a plan to deal with proper tablebase memory management (see
comments for more information on this).

The removal of these global structures has been discussed in parts with
Vondele and Sopel.

584d9efedc Dual NNUE with L1-128 smallnet
Credit goes to @mstembera for:
- writing the code enabling dual NNUE:
  https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4898
- the idea of trying L1-128 trained exclusively on high simple eval
  positions

Disservin b987d4f033 Use type aliases instead of enums for Value types
The primary rationale behind this lies in the fact that enums were not
originally designed to be employed in the manner we currently utilize them.

The Value enum was used like a type alias throughout the code and was often
misused. Furthermore, changing the underlying size of the enum to int16_t broke
everything, mostly because of the operator overloads for the Value enum, were
causing data to be truncated. Since Value is now a type alias, the operator
overloads are no longer required.

b0658f09b9 Introduce pawn structure based history
Original idea by Seer chess engine https://github.com/connormcmonigle/seer-nnue,
coding done by @Disservin, code refactoring done by @locutus2 to match the style
of other histories.

This patch introduces pawn structure based history, which assings moves values
based on last digits of pawn structure hash and piece type of moved piece and
landing square of the move. Idea is that good places for pieces are quite often
determined by pawn structure of position. Used in 3 different places
- sorting of quiet moves, sorting of quiet check evasions and in history based
pruning in search.

Disservin a105978bbd remove blank line between function and it's description
- remove the blank line between the declaration of the function and it's
  comment, leads to better IDE support when hovering over a function to see it's
  description
- remove the unnecessary duplication of the function name in the functions
  description
- slightly refactored code for lsb, msb in bitboard.h There are still a few
  things we can be improved later on, move the description of a function where
  it was declared (instead of implemented) and add descriptions to functions
  which are behind macros ifdefs

DisservinandJoost VandeVondele 2d0237db3f add clang-format
This introduces clang-format to enforce a consistent code style for Stockfish.

Having a documented and consistent style across the code will make contributing easier
for new developers, and will make larger changes to the codebase easier to make.

To facilitate formatting, this PR includes a Makefile target (`make format`) to format the code,
this requires clang-format (version 17 currently) to be installed locally.

Installing clang-format is straightforward on most OS and distros
(e.g. with https://apt.llvm.org/, brew install clang-format, etc), as this is part of quite commonly
used suite of tools and compilers (llvm / clang).

Additionally, a CI action is present that will verify if the code requires formatting,
and comment on the PR as needed. Initially, correct formatting is not required, it will be
done by maintainers as part of the merge or in later commits, but obviously this is encouraged.

DisservinandStéphane Nicolet 3c0e86a91e Cleanup includes
Reorder a few includes, include "position.h" where it was previously missing
and apply include-what-you-use suggestions. Also make the order of the includes
consistent, in the following way:

1. Related header (for .cpp files)
2. A blank line
3. C/C++ headers
4. A blank line
5. All other header files
