Crafty chess engine

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

I have a question as to the engine Crafty. Please write as someone knows or whether to set the engine for the tournament you need to use the ini file.
If so, you can ask to write how to configure it for the tournament and where to download the same file ini. I 25.0.1 versions of 64-bit. The engine will be used in the Chess GUI. Thank you for any help in advance.

You only need to add a couple of lines to the .craftyrc (linux) or crafty.rc (windows) file:

hash=xxxxM to set the size of hash. Must be a perfect power of 2 or it will round down to the next lower power.

hashp=32M or something similar to set the pawn hash
hashe=32M or something similar to set the eval hash
mt=N to set the number of threads you want to use. If you want to use just one, you can omit this line since 1 is the default.

Other than those, nothing else needs to be set.

Here is my rc file set to use 1 core ponder off.

tbpath=C:\Tablebases
cache=32M
ponder off
# mode=tournament # (for use use with ponder on)
swindle on # (Allows Crafty to try to win drawn games (according to Endgame Tables))
learn 0 # (default)
book random 1 # (default)
bookw freq 0.7
bookw ratio 0.8
bookw eval 0.6
bookw learn 0
bookw cap 0.5
book width 4
book off #(default = book on)
show book
log=off
#mt=2 # (Increases Crafty's MaxThreads to 2 for a dual CPU computer )
smpnice=1 # (Make Crafty not use cpu on opponents time)
timebook 80 8 # (Makes crafty use a lot more time on the first 8 moves out of book)
#adaptive NPS a
hash=128M
hashp=128M
exit

Graham I'm such a request. I have trouble finding the file in the program. Can you send me the file, I will be very grateful. Can I ask you about the configuration of this file.

Here is my rc file set to use 4 core ponder off.

tbpath=D:\Namilov
cache =128
ponder=off
hash=1024 MB
hashp=1024 MB

Be still as you can select what WB during the installation of the engine. Is WB1 and WB 2.

I would have these in my rc file for 4CPU ponder off:

mt=4
smpnice=1

Thank you Graham. I downloaded the latest version downloaded unless bad versions, without the file rc. Graham did not know where to download the latest version 25.0.1 but with the file rc.

Pawn hash 1024Mb is an unnecessary huge overkill. Perhaps try ratio 1:8 to normal hash or even less.

I did 32M.

Thank you and I have a question Graham. Is the program Chess Gui will show You TBs during the game.
