Using a Polyglot book for a winboard engine

[Tony Thomas]

Can someone help me out...?? I am trying to use a polyglot book for Romichess..Here is what I have so far..I have Romichess+WB2UCI+Polyglot

Engine name: RomichessP3k.exe
Engine Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Pakage

Here is my WB2UCI ini..

Code: Select all

[ENGINE]
Name=RomiChess P3K
Author=Michael Sherwin
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=romichessp3k.exe
; See Wb2Uci.html for more options

Now here is my Polyglot ini..

Code: Select all

[PolyGlot]

EngineName = RomiChessP3k
EngineDir = C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Pakage
EngineCommand =Wb2Uci.exe

Log = false
LogFile = xxx.log

Resign = false
ResignMoves = 3
ResignScore = 600

KibitzMove = True
KibitzDelay = 2

Book = True
BookFile = book.bin

I have Polyglot installed as a winboard engine in arena and I am getting the below message in arena debug..

760828*1*Configured Engine 1 Type: WB2
761094*1*Engine 1 dir: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Pakage
761172*1*Engine 1 commandline: "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Pakage\polyglot.exe"
761516>1:xboard
761547>1:protover 2
762391<1:PolyGlot 1.4 by Fabien Letouzey
762406<1:parse_option(): missing [Engine] section
763359>1:new
763391>1:random

Can someone possibly tell me what I am doing wrong..Marc Lacrosse? Tord? Anyone else??

Thanks in advance
Tony

You need a [Engine] section in your polyglot ini file.

I figured that right after I posted..Also the programmer of Oxygen helped me with Polyglot ini..
