Put that PGN into the MRI

[Rebel]

About creating your own PGN format:

Further complications:
All the data systems are different.
TCEC is different, and basically every other engine conte.
Furthermore, sometimes the data is from white's perspective and sometimes for the side to move as far as scores go.
And there are dozens of different ways to indicate a book move

About the red, here is compilation what I have seen through the years and how to recognize a book move:

Code: Select all

0s
1s
2s
book
Buch
+0.00/1
+0.00/0
+355.34     // Rybka
0.00/99

With MRI I use a different formula but when changing a supported PGN format it may cause trouble as in your case.

Restoring the PGN to Cutechess format gives the right book move figures.

Your format:

Code: Select all

47. h6 {+M19/33 0.44s} Kb3 {-M20/28 0.21s}
{White wins by adjudication}
1-0

Back to Cutechess

Code: Select all

47. h6 {+M19/33 0.44s} Kb3 {-M20/28 0.21s, White wins by adjudication} 1-0

Anyway, in the upcoming update (tonight I hope) your PGN format will work as well

On detecting suspect book moves I made a firm choice, first move < margin and game lost -> suspect.

In the game in question black recovers from the -1.07 and thus the opening is not suspect, secondly people play matches with opening books and engines may fall back into the book again with a score of 0.00 and things get complicated.

I think a programmer / book editor just want to know his book or opening set contains bad scores.

Thanks, I am sorry I forgot about the line with the final termination comment, because I didn't know it was relevant for your book moves parsing.

My afterwards used script (not the different compilation of cutechess), not only removes the unnecessary 's' (some tools I use don't like that for parsing!), but also separates the last move comment from the termination comment, because I find that concatenation ugly.

BTW the XB/WB source contains code for recognizing book moves up to 2006 IIRC, because I once persuaded Alessandro Scotti to add a pgn tag, which saves the bookout eval in the header. The tag looks like this

Code: Select all

[Annotator "2. +0.33   5... +0.04"]

, I think we 'abused' a seldomly used existing tag.

from backend.c

Code: Select all

static int
FindFirstMoveOutOfBook (int side)
{
    int result = -1;

    if( backwardMostMove == 0 && ! startedFromSetupPosition) {
        int index = backwardMostMove;
        int has_book_hit = 0;

        if( (index % 2) != side ) {
            index++;
        }

        while( index < forwardMostMove ) {
            /* Check to see if engine is in book */
            int depth = pvInfoList[index].depth;
            int score = pvInfoList[index].score;
            int in_book = 0;

            if( depth <= 2 ) {
                in_book = 1;
            }
            else if( score == 0 && depth == 63 ) {
                in_book = 1; /* Zappa */
            }
            else if( score == 2 && depth == 99 ) {
                in_book = 1; /* Abrok */
            }

            has_book_hit += in_book;

            if( ! in_book ) {
                result = index;

                break;
            }

Thanks, all well, except the time sum, may be a rounding error? It still would be nice to have here also 1 or 2 digit precision.
Note that a lot of people do ultrafast tests and this tool can also check irregularities in game files of other people.

The diff here is already >10% from real numbers. Below is a calculation of the same game (rounded to 2 digits in time sum).

With the 2 digit precision PGN I get:

Your PGN must have a 3 digit precision, it explains the 0.24s difference for black.

Hope you are satisfied with the result, after all we are not talking about the 100 meter sprint.

TCEC has book moves like this:

TCEC has book moves like this:

Is there a tool that converts TCEC PGN to normal (say Arena / Cutechess / Chessbase) PGN?

I once had, then they changed the format again, I gave up

[Dann Corbit]

I am not aware of any, but Les Fernandez wrote a tool that will read it and write out the opening book moves and the analyzed moves as EPD records.
He uses vb.net and regular expressions to parse it.

Thanks that should be sufficient. Yes, Black had a few 3 digit moves, which is also the default in offficial cutechess for
all moves below 100ms (as shown in the source snipped before).
