PyTuroChamp and Arena GUI - strange behaviour

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello,

after the moves 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.d4 Nc6 4.ed5: executed PyTuroChamp https://github.com/mdoege/PyTuroChamp immediately 4...e4, after this ply I could not make any further moves with the white pieces

Arena <F4> debug ; engine was recognized with WB-2 protocol

Do you know a better choice than https://github.com/niklasf/python-chess ?
Often PyChess Library creates move orders with blunders for the engine that could derive from a beginner....

14&#58;29&#58;07,448*1*Found move&#58;d7-d5
There is no move "f2-f4" inbetween. That move is there, at 14:27:44,483, but at 14:27:51,205 , there is a "new" command initiating a new game. Looks like the d7-d5 move didn't really make it because there was no white move after e7-e5. If d7-d5 hasn't happened, then this explains why e4xd5 is regarded as illegal.

Well, I wanted to warn you, but I also wanted to wait until you figured out how to use pip yourself.
There is already since may be 2 weeks a comment in the XB/UCI chronology about PyTuroChamp in the 'waiting list'.

Code: Select all

PyTuroChamp	plays only one colour per session - plays for the wrong side often in WB against C players		https&#58;//github.com/mdoege/PyTuroChamp		2017-12
I did not even mention there that you have to change the code yourself to make it play another colour...and also other code to avoid time losses.

Re: PyTuroChamp and Arena GUI - strange behaviour

Post by Guenther »

Code that needs to be changed, but as I said it won't help anyway,
because it still makes moves for the wrong side often...against other engines. (not vs. Human player)

Code: Select all

# computer plays as Black by default

COMPC = c.BLACK
PLAYC = c.WHITE

MAXPLIES = 3	# maximum search depth
QPLIES    = MAXPLIES + 4
PSTAB     = 5	# influence of piece-square table on moves, 0 = none
