+ * engines use for Elo estimates); `1 - expected` is the "surprise" left over once material is
+ * accounted for. A win where the winner was already up a rook the whole game is unsurprising
+ * (expected ~= 1, ~no update) — the eval already knows material matters via piece_value(), so
+ * square/feature tables shouldn't get credit for "a piece existed"; a win pulled off (or a draw
+ * held) while materially behind is highly informative and gets a correspondingly large update.
+ * This same magnitude applies to BOTH the winner's reward and the loser's punishment: by the
+ * symmetry of win probabilities (P(loser wins) = 1 - P(winner wins)), the loser's own advantage
+ * — actual(0) minus their expected win probability — has exactly the same magnitude, `1 -
