Small tweak to idle_loop()

In case of a succesful late join we set again
'searching' flag, so we can restart search
immediately without an useless lock/unlock
cycle.

No functional change.

Hi,

Ran my own tests using latest Stockfish development build against Komodo 8. Stockfish edged it but not by a huge margin. Games available:

Ponder: Off.
GUI: Fritz 11
Book: Perfect 12 Sedat neutral book(Limit 8 moves)
No tablebases. No RTB used.
Large Pages allowed.
Hash 512
Time Control = 3+0

1   Stockfish 040914      +26/-20/=28     54%   40/74
2   Komodo 8                   +20/-26/=28     46%   34/74

When it was stated Komodo was relasein a new engine so soon agyer 7a . Bettina retested 7a against a new Stockfish that wiped the board with Komodo  she wrote this after that test
"" stokfish is still in a leauge of its own , the only way Komodo will match it in a short space of time will be to plagiarize its code . entirely doable of course as Stockfishs code and ALL changes are on github , that said only desperate money grabbing types would think to "capitalize " on others work or to spew out update after update of an inferior (to a freeware engine ) commercial product at a price ""

Seems that K 8 did more than match that particulatr SF  , mahing k 8 around 70 elo stronger than 7a ,,,even Houdart never managed that increase in Houfini after plagiarizing Robbolito code
This Mark must be an absolutely phenomenal  engine programer , best in the whole wide world maybe , beggars belief hes never accomplisged anything of real note before ... biy now hes right up there with  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Some more results. Not my test but published on another well known forum so sharing for info. This is bullet 1+1 but seems even the pubic download version of Stockfish 5 (not the latest dev version) is beating Komodo 8 but close:

Silversuite
Bullet 1m+1s
Hash 512MB
PB=ON
Tablebases=Syzygy 6-men

Komodo 8 - Stockfish 5 64 SSE4.2     +25 / =46 / -29

We dislike and distrust these "suite tests " ditto with this guys tests as he never produces proof or the games if asked , that said we do see others showing  a staggeringly suspicious:hng: jump in komodo strength and a completely different game play  compared to past komodos ...one could say more like stockfish now

Here is Ingo's one

Test run finished.
K8 made a jump of 41 Elo and is leading the IPON now.

You find the results on the main web site.

Bye
Ingo

Without many ideas and techniques from the open source chess engines Ippolit and Stockfish, Houdini would not nearly be as strong as it is now.

Larry" Kaufman  should write the same on Komodo chess page
