Merges latest master into the cluster branch + a few changes were made

lightly tested, includes a few bug fixes

  • mpirun -np 4 ./stockfish go depth 5 no longer crashes
  • debug build no longer triggers asserts
  • no racey console output when running bench

could use a cutechess game match test

Following previous elo gainer that gained by making conthist 3 less important in pruning this patch simplifies away this history from calculation of statscore.

Use main net evals when small net evals hint that higher eval
accuracy may be worth the slower eval speeds. With Finny caches,
re-evals with the main net are less expensive than before.

No functional change
Stockfish appears to take too much time on the first move of a game and
then not enough on moves 2,3,4... Probably caused by most of the factors
that increase time usually applying on the first move.

Attempts to give more time to the subsequent moves have not worked so
far, but this change to simply reduce first move time by 5% worked.

Basically the same idea as it is for continuation/main history, but it
has some tweaks.
1) it has * 2 multiplier for bonus instead of full/half bonus - for
   whatever reason this seems to work better;
2) attempts with this type of big bonuses scaled somewhat poorly (or
   were unlucky at longer time controls), but after measuring the fact
   that average value of pawn history in LMR after adding this bonuses
   increased by substantial number (for multiplier 1,5 it increased by
   smth like 400~ from 8192 cap) attempts were made to make default pawn
   history negative to compensate it - and version with multiplier 2 and
   initial fill value -900 passed.

More reduction if position is improving but value from TT doesn't
exceeds alpha but the tt move is excluded.

This idea is based on following LMR condition tuning

Created by first retraining the spsa-tuned main net `nn-ae6a388e4a1a.nnue` with:
- using v6-dd data without bestmove captures removed
- addition of T80 mar2024 data
- increasing loss by 20% when Q is too high
- torch.compile changes for marginal training speed gains

And then SPSA tuning weights of epoch 899 following methods described in:
official-stockfish#5149

This net was reached at 92k out of 120k steps in this 70+0.7 th 7 SPSA tuning run:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/66413b7df9f4e8fc783c9bbb
Thanks to @Viren6 for suggesting usage of:
- c value 4 for the weights
- c value 128 for the biases

Scripts for automating applying fishtest spsa params to exporting tuned .nnue are in:
https://github.com/linrock/nnue-tools/tree/master/spsa

Before spsa tuning, epoch 899 was nn-f85738aefa84.nnue
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/663e5c893a2f9702074bc167

After initially training with max-epoch 800, training was resumed with max-epoch 1000.

Official release version of Stockfish 17

---

Stockfish 17

Today we have the pleasure to announce a new major release of Stockfish. As
always, you can freely download it at https://stockfishchess.org/download and
use it in the GUI of your choice.

Don’t forget to join our Discord server[1] to get in touch with the community
of developers and users of the project!

*Quality of chess play*

In tests against Stockfish 16, this release brings an Elo gain of up to 46
points[2] and wins up to 4.5 times more game pairs[3] than it loses. In
practice, high-quality moves are now found in less time, with a user upgrading
from Stockfish 14 being able to analyze games at least 6 times[4] faster with
Stockfish 17 while maintaining roughly the same quality.

During this development period, Stockfish won its 9th consecutive first place
in the main league of the Top Chess Engine Championship (TCEC)[5], and the 24th
consecutive first place in the main events (bullet, blitz, and rapid) of the
Computer Chess Championship (CCC)[6].

*Update highlights*

*Improved engine lines*

This release introduces principal variations (PVs) that are more informative
for mate and decisive table base (TB) scores. In both cases, the PV will
contain all moves up to checkmate. For mate scores, the PV shown is the best
variation known to the engine at that point, while for table base wins, it
follows, based on the TB, a sequence of moves that preserves the game outcome
to checkmate.

*NUMA performance optimization*

For high-end computers with multiple CPUs (typically a dual-socket architecture
with 100+ cores), this release automatically improves performance with a
`NumaPolicy` setting that optimizes non-uniform memory access (NUMA).  Although
typical consumer hardware will not benefit, speedups of up to 2.8x[7] have been
measured.

*Shoutouts*

*ChessDB*

During the past 1.5 years, hundreds of cores have been continuously running
Stockfish to grow a database of analyzed positions. This chess cloud
database[8] now contains well over 45 billion positions, providing excellent
coverage of all openings and commonly played lines. This database is already
integrated into GUIs such as En Croissant[9] and Nibbler[10], which access it
through the public API.

*Leela Chess Zero*

Generally considered to be the strongest GPU engine, it continues to provide
open data which is essential for training our NNUE networks. They released
version 0.31.1[11] of their engine a few weeks ago, check it out!

*Website redesign*

Our website has undergone a redesign in recent months, most notably in our home
page[12], now featuring a darker color scheme and a more modern aesthetic,
while still maintaining its core identity. We hope you'll like it as much as we
do!

*Thank you*

The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts (thanks
everybody!) who contribute their expertise, time, and resources to build a free
and open-source chess engine that is robust, widely available, and very strong.

We would like to express our gratitude for the 11k stars[13] that light up our
GitHub project! Thank you for your support and encouragement – your recognition
means a lot to us.

We invite our chess fans to join the Fishtest testing framework[14] to
contribute compute resources needed for development. Programmers can contribute
to the project either directly to Stockfish[15] (C++), to Fishtest[16] (HTML,
CSS, JavaScript, and Python), to our trainer nnue-pytorch[17] (C++ and Python),
or to our website[18] (HTML, CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript).

Fixes official-stockfish#5564

This patch extracts the net downloading script in Makefile into an
external script file. Also the script is moderately rewritten for
improved readability and speed.

* Use wget preferentially over curl, as curl is known to have slight
  overhead.
* Use command instead of hash to check if command exists. Reportedly,
  hash always returns zero in some POSIX shells even when the command
  fails.
* Command existence checks (wget/curl, sha256sum) are performed only
  once at the beginning.
* Each of common patterns is encapsulated in a function
  (get_nnue_filename, validate_network).
* Print out error/warning messages to stderr.

Since an unknown amount of time the instrumented CI has been a bit
flawed, explained here
official-stockfish#5185. It also
experiences random timeout issues where restarting the workflow fixes it
or very long run times (more than other workflows) and is not very
portable.

The intention of this commit is to port the instrumented.sh to python
which also works on other operating systems. It should also be
relatively easy for beginners to add new tests to assert stockfish's
output and to run it.
From the source directory the following command can be run.

`python3 ../tests/instrumented.py --none ./stockfish`

A test runner will go over the test suites and run the test cases.

All instrumented tests should have been ported over.
The required python version for this is should be 3.7 (untested) + the
requests package, testing.py includes some infrastructure code which
setups the testing.

Idea of this patch comes from the fact that current history heuristics
are mostly populated by low depth entries since our stat bonus reaches
maximum value at depth 5-6 and number of low depth nodes is much bigger
than number of high depth nodes. But it doesn't make a whole lost of
sense to use this low-depth centered histories to sort moves at root.
Current patch introduces special history table that is used exclusively
at root, it remembers which quiet moves were good and which quiet moves
were not good there and uses this information for move ordering.

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:
mcthouacbb/Sirius@97b85bb
mcthouacbb/Sirius@3099cde

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:
zzzzz151/Starzix@3491177
zzzzz151/Starzix@33e0df8

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:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/66e5243886d5ee47d953a86b
(Stopped early due to some weights reaching the maximum value)

SPSA2:

Seems like the uciok response is missing:
