Revert "Retire eval margin and gains"

This reverts commit ecd07e51d0f03ccd3e41e5634518b299989254dd.

Patch was incorrect and partial. It will be reapplied in
the correct form.

Restrict mobility of pinned pieces

Passed both short TC:
LLR: 3.00 (-2.94,2.94) [-1.50,4.50]

Retire eval margin and gains

1/ eval margin and gains removed:
- gains removed by Value(128): search() and qsearch() now behave consistently!

2/ futility_margin()
- testing showed that there is no added value in this weird (log(depth), movecount)
formula, and a much simpler linear formula is just as good. In fact, it is most
likely better, as it is not yet optimally tuned.
- the new simplified formula also means we get rid of FutilityMargins[], its
initialization code, and more importantly ss->futilityMoveCount, and the hacky
code that updates it throughout the search().
- the current formula gives negative futility margins, and there is a hidden interaction
between the move coutn pruning formula and the futility margin one: what happens is
that MCP is supposed to be triggered before we use the non-sensical negative futility
margins.

3/ unify pre & post futility pruning
- pre futility pruning (what SF calls value based pruning) used depth < 7 plies,
while post futility pruning (what SF calls static null move pruning) used depth < 4 plies.
- also the condition depth < 7 in pre futility pruning was not obvious, and it seemd
to be depth < 16 (futility_margin() returns an infinite value when depth >= 7).

Tested with fixed number of games both at short TC:
ELO: 0.82 +-2.1 (95%) LOS: 77.3%
Total: 40000 W: 7939 L: 7845 D: 24216

Futility pruning simplification

1/ eval margin and gains removed:
16bit are now free on TT entries, due to the removal of eval margin. may be useful
in the future :) gains removed: use instead by Value(128). search() and qsearch()
are now consistent in this regard.

2/ futility_margin()
linear formula instead of complex (log(depth), movecount) formula.

3/ unify pre & post futility pruning
pre futility pruning used depth < 7 plies, while post futility pruning used
depth < 4 plies. Now it's always depth < 7.

to a pinned piece.

e.g. in 3k4/1q6/3b4/3Q4/8/5K2/B7/8 b - - 0 1 the black
bishop get 4 squares too many and the white queen gets 6.

I predict the newest elo info is that
the elo boost from stockfish 4 will be +70 or so
since this version update is a major one
in terms of elo power

we can usually quite accurately extrapolate
how much elo gain there is
by looking at the win/loss numbers
and I think the elo gained is huge (like 10 elo)
not just 1 or 2 elo points

Seems like Ronald stopped to update this new dev versions of SF for Syzygy since SF started stage 4 os TCEC without using Syz TB´s... 

What should i do to add C:\sbases345 to this version or others to come, using fritz 13 gui? I have created Stockfich as a uci engine. Also could u tell me how to tune up the parameters to optimize the engine for i7?
Thank u very much.

Actually, it is not used, as both arrays have the
same values. Some local tests in either direction
showed no improvement.

Remove RedundantMajor

But compensate by reducing rook and queen
value by 53 = (160 / 3)

Material imbalances are affected as follows:

Red. Major Rook Queen Total
QRR +160 -2*53 -53 +1
QR +160 -53 -53 +54
RR +160 -2*53 0 +54
R 0 -53 0 -53
Q 0 0 -53 -53

so that the imbalance changes by at most 54 + 53 = 107 units.
This corresponds to appromximately 3.5cp in the final evaluation.

Verified with fixed number 40000 games at both short
and long TC it does not regress.

Dear Jack: thanks a lot; i will try this one; by the way, are the default parameters optimized for i7???
My kindest regards .
