Already a new version of Minic available ! : 3.22 (same net as 3.19 of course)

Should be +30Elo at least versus 3.19.

See https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... s/tag/3.22

Sorry for the double release in a short period of time, I really wanted to see the new big nets perform at the TCEC swiss tourney, so 3.19 was released as soon as possible.

Hi Vivien,

your sorry is not necessary!

We have to say thanks for your new release!
Congratulation for the Elo gain!!

Will be now a fight with Halogen 10.23, Igel 3.0.10 for place 14 ever.
Perhaps danger for Arasan 23.3 on rank 13.

That's indeed very strong!!
Thanks again and have a nice week.

Best
Frank

Don't know whether this occurs only on DroidFish (Android). When i start an infinitive analyze and stop it, Minic is not responding anymore. I have to restart the chess app. Normal playing is without any issues.

ok, for sure on linux those commands work

Code: Select all

uci
ucinewgame
setoption name Hash value 256
setoption name Threads value 8
position startpos
go infinite
stop
position startpos moves e2e4
go infinite
stop
position startpos moves e2e4 e7e5
go infinite
stop
quit
On my DroidFish, I may have the issue you are reporting but I only need to make a move with the side to move to make the engine work again.

Shall the best move be returned to standard output when analysis finishes ? I'll check UCI protocol again

yeah seems like analysis (go infinite) also requieres the best move to be sent at the end and the bug in Minic is clear (I even commented the situation ... but I was wrong ) ... I missread the UCI protocol ... sorry, will fix that for next release.

Code: Select all

   // in searching only mode we have to return a move to GUI
   // but curiously uci protocol also expect a bestMove when pondering to wake up the GUI
   if (state == st_searching || state == st_pondering) {
