Introduce dynamic contempt Make contempt dependent on the current score of the root position. The idea is that we now use a linear formula like the following to decide on the contempt to use during a search : contempt = x + y * eval where x is the base contempt set by the user in the "Contempt" UCI option, and y * eval is the dynamic part which adapts itself to the estimation of the evaluation of the root position returned by the search. In this patch, we use x = 18 centipawns by default, and the y * eval correction can go from -20 centipawns if the root eval is less than -2.0 pawns, up to +20 centipawns when the root eval is more than 2.0 pawns. To summarize, the new contempt goes from -0.02 to 0.38 pawns, depending if Stockfish is losing or winning, with an average value of 0.18 pawns by default.
