Will somebody please answer my Stockfish 1.8 engine question? Please take a look at the following link to know what I am talking about.
http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35822
I just want to know if Zugzwang detection is turned on or not by default. Seems to me that maybe some 20 to 30 elo points could be gained by turning it on. Does anybody else have similar results with this engine?
Thanks..........................................................

Re: Some Questions About Stockfish 1.8 Engine
I believe it is on by default in 1.8. See http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 32&start=0David Schumaker wrote:Will somebody please answer my Stockfish 1.8 engine question? Please take a look at the following link to know what I am talking about.

Re: Help to run STOCKFISH in command line
Hi Louis,
how exactly setup you a position to stockfish and run it in command line?
With crafty i can do this, search around in this forum helps me to do that.
But with stockfish i'm not able to run a position with time set? (e.g. for 300sec)
I found out this:
setoption name UCI_AnalyseMode value true
position fen 6rk/1pp2prp/p2pnb1q/4p3/1PP1Ppb1/3P1N1P/PB3PP1/1R1B1QRK b - - 0 25
setoption name Hash value 256
setoption name Threads value 1
setoption name Ponder value false
then:
go depth 18 -> it works
or:
go infinite -> it works, but difficult to stop this, type stop or quit helps not, i found out first ESC then type quit.
Gives there an easier way?
Now my problem:
I'm not able to run Stockfish with time limit:
st 300 doesn't work
Time set 300 doesn't work
Can you explain me this and another parameter?
For Crafty it works so:
White(1): setboard 2rr4/p5kp/1n1Np3/2p2p2/8/2RR4/PP3PPP/6K1 b - - 1 24
Black(1): st 300
search time set to 300.00. (300sec.)
regards

Re: Help to run STOCKFISH in command line
The commands you are entering are UCI commands. You can read here:
