Ah, nice, thanks! My problem with the Dev version is that my own compiles are slower than the official Stockfish 9 release, while my compiles of McBrain are faster than your releases, so it seems any fork I'd like to test would be better used on the McBrain branch.MikeB wrote:The next release of SF-McB will have Oster's patch - it's already in the they dev version.
Any chance to add an option so that the Tactical setting still shows the PVs and scores of the other lines it analyses? It seems the Tactical setting is the only way to mix MultiPV and "go searchmoves" in the Shredder GUI.MikeB wrote:I'm glad you posed this question , since with Oster's code, I had re-write the tactical to get it to work right. Fairly simple rewrite - added two short lines of code ( so that the output looks like mutiipv is set to 1) .
Supposing a Tactical=2 setting and MultiPV=4 will miss the best move of a position (Tactical=3 or MultiPV=8 would find it, but it's too costly to use everywhere), after I have refuted all 4 main moves and want a 5th alternative, there's no way to use MultiPV=4+"go searchmoves" to exclude the 4 moves I already refuted, because the GUI will go back to SinglePV after using "go searchmoves." Tactical=2+"go searchmoves" to exclude those moves does what I want, but McBrain isn't showing me the score of the other 3 moves it analyses.
