A fast alternative to the modulo reduction
(2016)
The comments are interesting, I recommend reading them (they're much longer than the post itself). Some highlights:
Apparently Stockfish, the chess engine, used this optimization to reduce memory for storing precomputations. https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/2198c...
Also, a GitHub gist with more information: https://github.com/sipa/writeups/tree/main/uniform-range-ext...

Grandmaster-Level Chess Without Search
My point is that if the computer never flags it will have an inherent advantage in low time controls. If not, why not just test it in hyperbullet games? Games where humans flag in a drawn or winning position need to be excluded, otherwise it’s unclear what this is even measuring.
And limited depth games would not have been difficult to run. You can run a limited search Stockfish on a laptop using the UCI protocol: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/wiki/UCI-%26...

The rarest move in chess [video]
I was wondering on how Stockfish encodes the destination and origin square in 5 bits each. I think they don't, at least the code on github uses 6 bits each, which actually gives you 64 possible values, so works out fine:
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/blob/master/...
Thats 16 bits.

posttest-cli beta testers wanted
This was the result searching for all the 35 stockfish benchmark positions to depth 6.

How many positions can the top GMs analyze per second? In engine terms what is the highest nps for humans?
Stockfish doesn't have a classical evaluation anymore. And before this, most of the time (around 90%), NNUE was used to evaluate.
