Salut,

Tony, DoubleCheck_x64 doesn't work for me under Arena 2.0.1 (SO XP 64-bit).
Double clicking the .exe show a message saying msvcr100.dll is not found, but it's in the same folder ...

DoubleCheck (I suppose is the 32-bit one) runs fine.

Thanks.

I've tried to install your engine in scid, on a xubuntu X64 but it doesn't seem to work.

Some extra info about my system:

$ uname -a
Linux xubuntuco 2.6.38-10-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:07:17 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I'm able to add the engine to the scid list, but when I run it it doesn't do any useful.

This is the info I get in the engine's window:
+1.0 Depth: 0 Nodes: 0K (0 kn/s) Time: 0.00 s
Current: (1/32) TB Hits: 0 Nps: 0 n/s Hash: 0% Load: 0%

And that's it.

The cpu graph doesn't show any extra activity, and if I execute the engine from the comand line I get nothing at all either.

By the way, when I try to configure the engine I get an empty window.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm quite used to install engines in scid, which by the way is a very easy and straightforward process.

Maybe it's just that the engine isn't supposed to work under scid?

Hi Aser, I have recompiled the 64 bit version, and I think I have managed to remove the dependency to msvcr100.dll. Please let me know if this works for you on your XP x64 box. I apologize, this is my first attempt at making a 64 bit compile, and I'm still learning how to use VC 2010.

Now 64-bit compile works fine too! Let's test DoubleCheck.
Many thanks!

I don't know, never used scid. Is it UCI compliant ? Does it have a debug feature, where you can see what the engine recieces and sends ?

Oh by the way, I forgot to mention!
DoubleCheck is *not* capable of analyzing. It can only play.
I will of course try to add this feature in the next release, as well as handling the UCI stop command

[pocopito]

Ok, that was the problem: I was trying the engine only in analysis mode. Silly me, until now I was giving for granted that any engine should work on analysis mode

[pocopito]

Ok, I forgot to make it clear that doublecheck works fine in scid playing against another engine (or against myself for the case).
