Chess Engine: BrainFish 180128 and book: Cerebellum Light 180128

BrainFish - UCI chess engine JCER Rating=3378 Information from the author: Brainfish is a standard Stockfish chess engine extended by a general book format that is capable of handling a reduced part of Cerebellum, which is an innovative chess opening and playing book. In Brainfish, the book moves are only used in engine games, not in analysis mode. All moves in the published book Cerebellum_light .bin generated by Cerebellum were calculated by using Stockfish as analysis engine, without using statistics. Then those moves where recalulated by the Cerebellum Library using a graph algorithm that makes all scores in the library consistant. Consistant scores means for example, in case the starting position has a score of 0.2 and a best move is 1.e4, the position after 1.e4 must have the score -0.2. Additionally, some others properties are found, like the best main line of a position and possible Transitions. Hence, when Brainfish is playing moves that are in the Cerebellum book

Stockfish , chess engine UCI Rating JCER = 3389 🔬 Author: syzygy1 Timestamp: 1517146807  This modifies the in-search TB probing to continue searching for a mate "behind" a TB win (or loss). (#1285)  It does the following:  - If a TB win or loss value allows an alpha or beta cutoff, the cutoff is taken.  - Otherwise, the search of the current subtree continues. In PV nodes, the final value returned is adjusted to reflect that the position is a TB win (or loss).  The patch also fixes a potential problem caused by root_probe() and root_probe_wdl() dirtying the root-move scores.  This patch removes the limitation of current master that a mate is never found if the root position is not yet in the TBs, but the path to mate at some point enters the TBs. The patch is intended to preserve the efficiency and effectiveness of the current TB probing approach.  No functional change (withouth TB) ⭐⭐⭐    Stockfish 18012814 - download
