No, it isn't required to use the engine.Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 2:49 pm Fabian, exactly what does Referee do? Is it required by Fab?
It's just the referee I use for testing my own engine against other UCI engines / and itself, to see if I'm making progess.
No need to download it if you use the releases, and no need to build it if you are building from sources

Yes, I am from Germany. Why are you asking? (Actually there might still be some german artifcats in my code, sorry lol)Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 5:17 pmThanks.

We include the author's nationality in our lists.Yes, I am from Germany. Why are you asking? (Actually there might still be some german artifcats in my code, sorry lol)
EDIT: I wanted to start a tournament under Arena. However, Fab did not move after leaving the book. The Windows popcnt version. It does analyze, though.

BTW. Lots of thanks for including me in the list! Very glad to see FabChess compete against other engines and it's nice to see where it stands besides my local testing.

Re: New engine releases 2019
FabChess itself doesn't support own book, so I guess you are using book option from Arena. I've just downloaded the 1.7 POPCNT and it works on my local machine. Can you maybe send me a log?Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 5:48 pmWell, my test stopped abruptly (see edited post above).fabianVDW wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 5:45 pmAh, okayGabor Szots wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 5:43 pmWe include the author's nationality in our lists.Yes, I am from Germany.

Re: New engine releases 2019
Version 1.8 of FabChess is released. https://github.com/fabianvdW/FabChess/releases/tag/v1.8
First of all it fixes the errors FabChess was having in CCRL testing (It was crashing with the movestogo command).
Also it is vastly faster than version 1.7(>40%), since all of the forward pruning is now done before movegen and tt move + pv table move are tried first before doing movegen.
Expected Elogain:
Didn't have time for Gauntlet testing yet, but in self play >=50 Elo. I again expect less on higher timecontrols.
