supposed to work?..where do you set the parameters? and wheres the cookbook/instructions?? LMAO Thx..........AR :) :wink:
What GUI are you using and the engine communication log?

eval.net and meval.net need to be in the working directory of the engine. There is no config file. No options to configure. Also no opening book. It's good enough to play openings without a book.

Hi Lai...
I just lost patience. No way to make your engine work.
A pity. I was and I am very interested in your approach.
Perhaps you could make available a full program ready to use, with gui et all? Nothing more to do that execute?


Hopeful regards
Fern

No parameters you say Mr Developer? (Even the flawed 'Brainless' had a config file)
So pray tell........how does one set the ponder and the ram without parameters?? Does your "artificial intelligence" decide that all by itself?
Thx AR...... :D

Works fine for me.
I just used the UCI version with Arena.
No fuss, no muss, just install and go.

That's unfortunate. Giraffe is still in very early development, so there are still things to work out, and it does require some technical competency to use. Hopefully you'll try it again when it becomes more mature!

I'll look into including a GUI. But I am traveling right now, so that may take a while to get to.

It does not support pondering yet and RAM usage is also not configurable yet.

But you are clearly not actually interested in running my engine. You just want to insult me. That's fine, but I have enough genuine users to help and don't have time to deal with you.

You know what is great about Giraffe and Brainless? They offer unlimited lifetime 100% money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with either, please bring your purchase receipt to first floor receptionist. They will be glad to offer you full refund, on everything you have ever paid for either.

Cool! I didn't know it's on CCRL already.

Thanks!

Does your engine improves itself too ? So if it plays many games it plays better and better without human intervention.
