Igel 3.0.0 works very well in my test !

What Gui are you using and can you post step by step how you set up the Tournament, since under Arena I am having trouble and Igel is NOT working

1.Arena 3.5.1 GUI;
2.-nothing special (the NNUE is integrated into the executable);
3.-must be checked the compatibility CPU-compilation.

Where do you check the compatability CPU-compilation I have an intel i7 4770 3.40GHz and I already asked the author of Igel what version of Igel to use, but Igel is refusing to work under Arena 3.5.1. Is it under the Option of Arena 3.5.1 ? Where do I find Igel 3.0.0 compile for Intel silvermont architecture is provided to bastiball over PM. ?

Arena is known to attempt to auto detect engine protocols when importing a new engine and cause some issues to Igel. Please make sure the communication protocol is set to "UCI" for Igel in Arena.

I have it set up to Uci and is still does NOT work, this is the only engine that does not work for me so far

Hello Chessqueen,

Where do you check the compatability CPU-compilation I have an intel i7 4770 3.40GHz and I already asked the author of Igel what version of Igel to use, but Igel is refusing to work under Arena 3.5.1. Is it under the Option of Arena 3.5.1 ? Where do I find Igel 3.0.0 compile for Intel silvermont architecture is provided to bastiball over PM. ?

Your CPU supports AVX2 so it should be fine. You don't need the other build as it is going to be way slower on your machine. Make sure in Arena the UCI is set as seen on the image https://pasteboard.co/JWgKyT4.png

I have it set up to Uci and is still does NOT work

If you double click on Igel, a console will open, type there:

go infinite

... and tell me what happens

Are you refering under CMD command prompt or under the arena Gui, I tried both and nothing happened. I believe I solved the problem I need to find the Igel _winX64 SSSe version to make it work on my computer Where can I find the Igel _winX64 SSSe version ?

1.-double-click on the executable ;
2.-write UCI;
3.-hit "Enter".

If "uciok" the engine should run on your PC !
