Just a hang up of mine. If there are no capturing pawns possible, it just adds spurious information that can cause you to analyze the same position over and over
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Thank you for this tool. I'm attempting to set a fixed depth, but the OPTIONS do not appear to be passed along to the engine.

For example, with

Code: Select all

set OPTIONS="sd=8"
the log shows:

Code: Select all

set OPTIONS unfortunately doesn't work for winboard engines.

You could try the wb2uci.exe adapter. Here is how I run ProDeo (winboard).

Code: Select all

set MT=100
set HASH=128
set THREADS=1
set PROTOCOL=uci
set EPD=epd\sfx.epd
set OPTIONS="MultiPV=1,depth=8"
set MRL=ProDeo

set EXE=engines\wb2uci.exe
set NAME=ProDeo

mea.exe --engine %EXE% --name %NAME% --hash %HASH% --threads %THREADS% --protocol %PROTOCOL% --epd %EPD% --movetime %MT% --log --eoption %OPTIONS%
csv %MRL% %EPD% %OPTIONS% %NAME% %MT% %CCRL%
mrl %MRL% %MRL% %EPD% %MT%
And double click that batch file.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.
