Thanks for your reply Ferdy! I had a different project as a plan when i ask for this: to use lc0 as master and lc0 as slave1 with the same or similiar weights. Then as slave2 to use a tactical strong engine for example stockfish any. So normaly the master lc0 will choose the slave lc0 moves. And if there is a tactical shot slave2 (stockfish) will find it and suggest it to master. What you say Ferdy is ths possible? Thank you again

There can be more combinations to experiment depending on your motives. What you said is possible to setup.

What does the name Aiquiri mean?

I can find Daiquiri which wouldn't be a bad name at all.

Hi Ed,
AIquiry=Artificial Intelligence cocktail

Who knows

In the meantime I have written a small tool to make the master, slave1, slave2 management more easy.

Unzip the file into AIquiry folder together with the engines you want to use and start SETUP.

Can we have more informations about the aiquiri.cfg file? Can we change parametres to the various engines? For example if i want to set slave2 stockfish any to play at level 10 what is the command line that i must give?

You may use,

# Stockfish 9
Hash = 128
Threads = 1
Skill Level = 10

Take the parameter name add equal sign and then add the value.

Thanks again Ferdy ! Is there a way to search various options available for each engine?

Hi Mesilikas,

a short & simple way, not depending on the GUI you are using to run engines:
start a command window (cmd.exe), change working directory (cd command) to where your engines are - let's assume Aiquiry directory, then:
- start an engine (for instance: master.exe)
- enter command: uci
- this will display the very similar list of options as shown by Ferdy
- exit the engine, command: quit
then you can run the next engine (slave1, then slave2...) to repeat uci command and read available options.

Hope this helps,
best regards

Hello Tibono! Thanks for your answer! Yes this helped me. I run an engine via terminal mode and when i type uci i have the main engine options. But seems that i cant configure these options with Aiquiri.cfg. For example Skill Level = 10 for stockfish didn"t change anything. Stockfish engine as a slave continues to analyse at Skill Level 20. Any idea?

[mesilikas]

I want to ask a question ! Seems that i have only questions ...
Is there a way to change Cdrill options when i put this engine as a slave engine in aiquiri.cfg file?
