No - if I rename the folder of the engine into Pedantic_2.0.0 the engine runs now without problems :?

But what was the folder name before?
You can see that I have renamed the folder and the binary too (but of course w/o spaces).

See my first posting, it was Pedantic only

Zangdar 2.30

A little progression here. At the beginning I thought as a hobby, but in fact its takes a lot of time.
I think I gained about 50 elo points, but Im optimistic ))

Does not run in Arena - any help?

I would delete your engine config for Pedantic from Arena and re-add it so see if that fixes it.

He just forgot to update the UCI version, it seems.
