Detailed Description

An evaluation score. This is essentially a wrapper around an integer value, with a few helper methods.

Member Typedef Documentation

LibchessScore

using ben_bot::eval::Score::LibchessScore = chess::uci::printing::SearchInfo::Score

The libchess type used for printing UCI-formatted search information.

Member Function Documentation

from_tt()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::from_tt ( Value eval, size_t plyFromRoot ) -> Score

staticnodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Converts a value from the transposition table to a score. This maps the MATE constant to a ply-from-root mate score.

Definition at line 163 of file Score.hpp.

is_losing_mate()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::is_losing_mate ( ) const -> bool

inlinenodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Returns true if this score is a losing mate score.

Definition at line 90 of file Score.hpp.

is_mate()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::is_mate ( ) const -> bool

inlinenodiscardnoexcept

Returns true if this score represents checkmate (either winning or losing).

Definition at line 84 of file Score.hpp.

is_winning_mate()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::is_winning_mate ( ) const -> bool

inlinenodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Returns true if this score is a winning mate score.

Definition at line 87 of file Score.hpp.

mate()

constexpr auto ben_bot::eval::Score::mate ( const size_t plyFromRoot ) -> Score

inlinestaticnodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Returns a checkmate score. During search, mate scores are based on the distance from the root of the tree, so that the engine actually goes for mate.

Definition at line 120 of file Score.hpp.

operator Value()

ben_bot::eval::Score::operator Value ( ) const

inlineconstexprnoexcept

Implicitly converts this score object to its integer value. This method is intentionally not explicit, which allows score objects to be transparently compared as integers.

Definition at line 75 of file Score.hpp.

operator-()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::operator- ( ) const -> Score

inlinenodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Inverts the score.

Definition at line 78 of file Score.hpp.

ply_to_mate()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::ply_to_mate ( ) const -> size_t

inlinenodiscardnoexcept

For a checkmate score, returns the number of plies from the root of the search tree to the checkmate position. This method asserts if the score is not mate.

Definition at line 95 of file Score.hpp.

to_libchess()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::to_libchess ( ) const -> LibchessScore

inlinenodiscardnoexcept

Converts this score object to the libchess type used for printing UCI info.

Definition at line 176 of file Score.hpp.

to_tt()

auto ben_bot::eval::Score::to_tt ( ) const -> Value

nodiscardconstexprnoexcept

Returns a value suitable for storing in the transposition table. During search, mate scores are based on ply from the root position; this function maps all mate scores to the MATE constant.

Definition at line 152 of file Score.hpp.

Member Data Documentation

value

Value ben_bot::eval::Score::value { UINT16_C(0) }
