Re: New engine: belofte
Hello! Glad to know that you are still working on that project. I like Belofte because it is one of the rare engines that my own engines can sometimes beat.ydebilloez wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 7:48 pm Binaries available under:

Re: New engine: belofte
Hi, can you share your script (tournoi.sh) you use to launch belofte.
I also restricted the number of commands accepted in feature, such as playother etc. Could you see what is used?
In essence, my program does a WB2 restricted. It does not accept SAN moves for the moment. Only coordinate moves.
etc...
I use arena for testing, and tested with xboard and pychess.

Re: New engine: belofte
Thanks, git repository updated with cutechess-cli config. Works fine now. (linux) Extract of engines.json below.
For those that didn't make the jump to linux yet, will try to do something soon once I get my windows vm back online. Planned for the 0.9.8 release. In the mean time, ... only linux is tested. If someone wants to give a try to create a windows build, you are most welcome.

Re: New engine: belofte
Belofte 0.9.8 has been released on sourceforge. Unfortunately, only a linux 64 bit version is available at this moment. I am working on a windows compile. Huge update to documentation, playing strength and testing environment. Website has also been updated.
I also found that belofte still cannot mate a KQK endgame and does not avoid draws with threefold repetition when clearly better but games start to be a bit more interesting. A lot of work ahead still.
Any feedback welcome.
Yves

Windows binary posted. Still a crash on the movenow (?) command but rest seems to be working fine.

Re: New engine: belofte
Hello! Thank you for the Windows binary of v0.9.8. I am testing it, with CuteChess Cli.
In one game Belofte played an illegal move, in fact an empty string (if I understand correctly).
Here is my command line:
The game:
And belofte-0.9.8.log:
I hope this helps.
I would be interested to compile it by myself for Windows, but my last attempts were unsuccessful. Could you explain how you compiled it?
Regards.
