Go up one level in this thread


I am still using my old 12-bit history index <to><from> to index into these new
values.  I also still maintain one for white and one for black.  I once tried a
17 bit index <piece><to><from> but it offered no improvement to the basic
history heuristic, but I have not tested that with this reduction stuff.

Any ideas what others are doing here?  I can think of several possibilities:

<piece><to>

<piece><from>

<to><from> (I am doing this now)

<piece><to><from>

to name at least 4.  First two seem too simplistic.  Last one turns the history
tables into pretty good sized arrays (2^17 for white, ditto for black).

Note that I am essentially factoring in wtm already since I have two separate
sets of history tables for black and white.
