Rebel used to have the exclude move feature when analysing.
Any programs, or Gui's have such a feature? Thanks.

Re: Exclude moves feature
Yes, sure, I am not sure about Winboard engines specifically but for UCI, if an engine follows the full UCI protocol you can let it exclude moves from analysis. This is a basic ingrediënt for the IDeA set-up in Aquarium, at least that's what I'm told You would have to look up exactly how to do it in the GUI that you want to use.Howard E wrote:Rebel used to have the exclude move feature when analysing.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Re: Exclude moves feature
This is not very precise I suppose, because the way it is implemented in the UCI standard is with "go searchmoves" after which the GUI sends all the moves to be searched. But there was a thread recently that many UCI engines do not bother with having the feature implemented yet, in which case the GUI is helpless.

As far as I can see it works in the Shredder GUI with Stockfish and Rainbow Serpent, when in Analysis mode you can press 'Ctrl' when entering a move and the program will start only analyzing this move. Use 'Shift' for excluding a move.

Re: Exclude moves feature
I bought the Shredder GUI pretty much because of this feature. It works nicely with any UCI engine.

Re: Exclude moves feature
Thankyou both for the feedback.
Re: Exclude moves feature
Chesspartner has it as well, but only Chess Tiger makes use of it under CP.
I suggested it to Ed on this forum, and it was then made clear that only small engine adjustments were necessary to make use of it.
Best regards,
