Well, this is definitely another version than you were running before, as that gave the error messageDavid Dahlem wrote:Doesn't seem to recognize the ? command.
Code: Select all
27250<1:telluser Bad entry point 127
Indeed I did not implement the '?' command. This means 'move now', and it seemed to me there never would be any reason the GUI would send it in an engine-engine game. According to the WB protocol it is allowed to always ignore it. Does Arena get upset when it receives the 'illegal command' error message? (WinBoard simply ignores this.) I can explicitly ignore it, if you want (so that no error message will be sent).

Having no idea of the strength of Smirf using the Smirfoglot adapter, i ran a test game against the latest test version of Sage, unknown elo, but estimated 2450 ...

Re: Smirf Chess
OK. I guess most GUIs know more decisive ways to stop an engine process if '?' doesn't work.
I have no idea what Arena is doing in the debug you show. It seemed totally confused. It sends a 'go' command to Smirf, and Smirf replies with a move, as it is supposed to. But Arena doesn't seem to like this, and in stead of passing the move onto the opponent, gives Smirf another 'go' command. After which Smirf does a move for black, as it is supposed to.
Seems to me that if there are any problems, they are with Arena. Smirfoglot just sticks to the protocol...

Re: Smirf Chess
David, it is looking like a traditional 8x8 chess blitz game. Time settings would be interesting as the used cache sizes are. Do not forget, that SMIRF is a multivariant engine for a lot of 8x8 and 10x8 chess variants, and SMIRF might not play well at low timings. But those things probably will clear up soon. SMIRF is my first (now rather outdated) playing chess engine. Maybe one day there will be a completely redesigned engine OCTOPUS, but that will need a lot of time ...
P.S.: Don't mix up the GUI version number, with the version number of the engine. This might be BC-168h for the donationware version, and actually MS-171a for the donator's bonus version of the SMIRF engine.
