Description

Smash is a bitboard engine and uses rotated bitboards with 256 line occupancy states to generate sliding piece attacks. While earlier WinBoard versions used MTD(f), since 1.0 the Iterative deepening framework calls a principal variation search. Structured exception handling is used to catch terminate- and timer exceptions thrown elsewhere. Selectivity is applied with adaptive null move, futility- and delta pruning, check- and one reply extensions. A capture entering the pawn endgame is extended by two plies. Beside moves from the transposition table, and MVV-LVA for captures, move ordering is controlled by killer- and history heuristic. Evaluation determines positional aspects with piece-square tables, and considers pawn structure, king safety and various positional piece terms.

Deep Smash

Version 1.0 has been rewritten from scratch. Dubbed Deep Smash - it performs a parallel search using threads, applying ABDADA with a shared transposition table 1.
