This is suppose to be one of the best chess engine to analyze chess positions, but I can NOT make it work under Arena GUI. https://sourceforge.net/projects/popeye-chess/

Re: Has anybody figured out how to make Popeye analyze ?
There are some resources at https://github.com/thomas-maeder/popeye.
Try to do this.
1. Create a file say p.pe with the following content.
In the fen, exclude the side to move, the side to move should be white, if black to move it has different Option value, feel free to experiment.
Change N to S and n to s.
2. Open command prompt and run popeye
The output will be in m9_output.txt with the following content.
I like that it showed refutations and threats. It could be improved by converting the output to a variation line like in the game annotation. I don't know how, just use this excellent tool today.

Re: Has anybody figured out how to make Popeye analyze ?
Well, you can use PopeyeUCI from my website:Chessqueen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:42 pm This is suppose to be one of the best chess engine to analyze chess positions, but I can NOT make it work under Arena GUI.

This is an UCI interface for Popeye that can be used in Arena like any other UCI engine.
But Popeye is definitely far away from being "one of the best chess engine to analyze chess positions" -
I suggest to used ChestUCI (also on my website) instead of it, which is much better and faster!
