Can you confirm that the engine is still running? IE the binary still shows up in your task manager, despite not reporting the best move to the GUI? When I compile Ethereal on Linux, everything seems fine. But when I run your *exe files on Wine, I get this: wine Ethereal12.00-x64-pext.exe 000b:fixm...

I searched "gtk3" in Mageia control center but I don't see which package I should install. It looks like gtkmm is missing. Gtkmm is the C++ interface for gtk. You will also need the development packages. I don't know how they are called on Mageia, but I suppose it's something like lib64gtkmm3.0-dev...

chess960 should work now.

Indeed it does, I played 300 games overnight without any issues. Gábor ran it at standard chess earlier in the week, and it shows +180 Elo, and chess960 is the same so far.

That's good news!

chess960 should work now.

Yes, I'll fix it ASAP.

For me anyway, this does not play chess960. Weird evaluations followed by the game terminating with an illegal move.

OK, thanks for testing. I'll take a look at it. Do you know the illegal move in your first example? And the initial fen in your second example?

I also look forward to running it at chess960.

Super!

I am looking forward to testing it as soon as I can (which is very soon).

Thanks!

There was a lot of refactoring, and several bugs were fixed.
This version is tactically much stronger than v_0.39.
Overall, I expect a +60 Elo.

But I'm not sure what wouldn't work following protocol 1 spec ?

Probably:

version 1:
MOVE

version 2:
usermove MOVE
