Simplify HinderPassedPawn bonus Make sure each piece is not scored more than once as a passed pawn "hinderer", by scoring only the blockers along the passed pawn path. Inspired by TCEC Game 29. Passed STC as a simplification http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5b3016d00ebc5902b2e58552 LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00] Total: 75388 W: 16656 L: 16641 D: 42091 Passed LTC as a simplification http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5b302ed90ebc5902b2e587fc LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00] Total: 49157 W: 8460 L: 8386 D: 32311 Current master was also counting the number of attacks along a passed pawn path, which might be misleading: a) a defender might be counted many times for the same pawn path. For example a White rook on a1 attacking a black pawn on a7 would score the bonus * 6 but would be probably better placed on a8 b) a defender might be counted on different pawn paths and might be overloaded. For example a Ke4 or Qe4 against pawns on d6 and f6 would score the bonus * 6. Counting each blocker or attacker only once is more complicated, and does not help either: http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5b2ff1cb0ebc5902b2e582b2 After this small simplification, there might be ways to increase the HinderPassedPawn penalty.
