Puffin 2.0 brings mostly improvements rather than additional new features (though there are some). I'm expecting/hoping for roughly a 120-150 Elo boost in strength.

Some of the changes in this release include:

  • Upgrade to .NET 8
  • Fixed some issues with the evaluation tuner
  • Some new pawn evaluation terms:
    • passed pawns
    • defended pawn (by another pawn)
    • adjacent/connected pawns
    • king distance for passed pawns
  • A fix to repetition detection
  • Some additional features in the quiescence search:
    • delta pruning
    • save/probe transposition table in qsearch
