Zahak, a GoLang based chess engine

[Gabor Szots]

So, I fixed the UCI issue on Windows, this hotfix version should have it working:
https://github.com/amanjpro/zahak/releases/tag/0.2.1

Indeed it does.

Thank you a lot for trying it out

Thanks for the fix. I was the one who added Zahak to the XB/UCI chronology a few days ago.
BTW I wasn't sure, if I should use the Candadian, or the unoffical Kurdistan flag for your chess program?
Good luck with Zahak.

The post (and the next one) about your program with a few test games was here:

Ah, thank you a lot. Let's go with The Kurdish flag, it is most likely that this is the first chess engine written by a Kurd, than by a Canadian, so I want to be the first at least in one thing

Absolutely yes, it's the first time and I sure haven't it yet in my repo, thus I will update it tomorrow.

May I ask you to include the version number in the engine name? Such as Zahak 0.2.1, e.g. You know, we expect further versions.

Sure, but I thought I already do? the name is: zahak-windows-amd64-0.2.1.exe this has 0.2.1 right before the .exe

Gabor meant in the uci id for the programs name, so that it reports its version to any GUI too.
(if people rename the binary that info is lost.)

Oh yes, but the name displayed when the engine is run is simply Zahak. I see in the meantime Günther explained that better than I could.

One thing has not changed, the allocated memory is still above 1 GB with hash set to 256 MB.

Ah sure, will do the UCI greeting thing.

As for the memory allocation, I am not seeing it on Mac, Linux and also Windows (on VritualBox though). Here is a Windows screenshot:

I set hash to 32 (MB), and the allocation is around 45 (for the entire program)

Nice work. I played 4 games against it with leela2200 (lc0 running a 16x2 T10 distilled net on cpu) on lichess. All tied up at 2 wins a piece.
