[supersharp77]

HELP!! Having trouble trying to get these three to run...anyone been able to get any of these running in a regular GUI like Fritz, Shredder or Chess OK?....Leela Lite (A0 Lite) Python is a bit complicated to set up...(no actual exe file) Pychess shows a actual engine in the folder but not sure if it will play outside the Pychess GUI.....Relaxchess 7 shows a chess engine exe file that seems to work in Windows 64 but it did not load in the Fritz GUI...Is Relaxchess winboard or UCI....(neither worked in the Fritz GUI.....let me know.....Thanks AR

What, specifically, are you encountering with a0lite (leela lite is no longer supported)?

well it contain a Bat file but is seems to not work so far....is the python release needed similar to Leela lite in order to get the program to work?...neither Leela lite or AO lite ever released an actual working exe file or even exact working instructions in their readme files....Thx AR

A0lite is a python script, so no exe file.

First you’ll need python3 and pip. I use virtualenv but you can install directly. Install badgyal (https://github.com/dkappe/badgyal) with

Code: Select all

 pip install git+https://github.com/dkappe/badgyal.git

.

Then check out the master branch of a0lite. On Windows, a0lite.bat is a uci compliant (if somewhat brittle) engine. You’ll need to make sure that the python.exe it points to is python3.
