To see anything on such close versions, you will indeed need to play at least 3000 games, which probably won't be possible at 30sec per move.
Maybe using 2.07 you can see things clearer.

I have started a gauntlet with version 2.07 under the Shredder 13 GUI. It took some time to make the engine run and use tablebases, because of this:
Yes, sorry for this blurry configuration of Minic.Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 10:34 amI have started a gauntlet with version 2.07 under the Shredder 13 GUI. It took some time to make the engine run and use tablebases, because of this:
1. During installation there is no way to specify command line arguments, so syzygy TB's are not used.
2. When I edited the .eng file manually, putting 'Parameter=-syzygyPath ...' in it the engine did not even start, Shredder told me it was not an UCI engine.
3. Then it dawned on me that perhaps -uci should also be included in the Parameter line. And voilá, it worked.
So it seems that either you don't specify anything or you have to specify both things. I guess Shredder issues the uci command by default but the Parameter line takes preference over that.
I'd like to ask you Vivien to make syzygyPath an option, settable together with the rest of the options.

Gabor
Code: Select all
minic -uci -syzygyPath /your/path/to/TB
The patch is done, will publish 2.08 soon with that included.
Thanks Vivien. If you haven't changed anything else then I may safely replace 2.07 with 2.08 in my ongoing tournament. Otherwise I stick with 2.07.
You will have to stick to 2.07 because 2.08 will introduce functional change.Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 12:03 pmThanks Vivien. If you haven't changed anything else then I may safely replace 2.07 with 2.08 in my ongoing tournament. Otherwise I stick with 2.07.
