Is it only this code and nothing else?

Is there no DB or machine learning inside?
- ZirconiumX 9y agoIt's actually https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/tree/master https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/tree/master No, SF doesn't use machine learning, it's entirely heuristic.
- josephernest 9y agoDoesn't it use a database? From README: > If the engine is searching a position that is not in the tablebases (e.g. a position with 7 pieces) and it speaks a lot about tablebases. What is it?
- ZirconiumX 9y agoOkay, I'll concede that one, my apologies. A tablebase is essentially a precomputed endgame solution for all positions with that many pieces. Likewise, it has an opening book, which is a database that contains moves for the first few turns of the game. It's still a heuristic searcher when it's not using those though.
