Andscacs - New version 0.921 with source

[Damir]

Where do I have to change the things you just mentioned, so I could get Andscacs parameters ?

In the es.cpp file.
The problem is that if I add a few parameters it will not make much sense. And adding a lot of them is just a lot of work I'm sorry.

Ouch looks like I will have to go into Andscacs source and make these changes. The es.cpp file you just mentioned is there.
Too bad I am complete patzer regarding this.

Hi Daniel,

Version 0.921 doesn't work with Cutechess GUI in Windows and Linux.
Doesn't start(segfault).
Even when I start it from a teminal it crashes with the UCI command that sends Cutechess GUI ; go wtime 300000 btime 300000 movestogo 40
0.92 did work in Cutechess GUI in Windows and Linux.

Kind regards,

Antonio

I can confirm that. However, version 0.921 does work in xboard.

Solved! There was a bug with the movestogo keyword. Thanks for reporting!
If anyone will play a tournament with moves per time, should update the version.

I also updated the source file.

Thanks.
I am going to snoop through your code right away.

I hope for a Andscacs victory in TCEC 10.

And then a parade, with giant cheese balls baloons

A bit difficult to win TCEC

Hi Daniel!

Congratulations for your new version of Andscacs
Thanks for sharing your source , good to close it again for the next versions !

Good luck for TCEC §

And now with the public source , our favourites known trolls (mainly come to mind Mr Sean , if it can read a source lol and also Mr "No progress part N" ) will just shut up lol

All the best
Dany

That discussion was about that an engine can not make continuously large elo steps in short time and be original. That has nothing to do with open source.

[I don't like studying other people source code so it is useless for me]

Hi!
I was asked about a problem with the Mac compile, but I have no idea about the problem. Maybe someone? Many thanks:

I can not execute Andscacs in my iMac, below information:

it looks like a missing symbol in stdc++ library.
is the software linked usign -static?
is the library present on the system reporting the crash?
