Stockfish Crazyhouse Engine

[Guenther]

I could start a game with a may be oldfashioned wb.ini entry below.
Note that Stockfish_8-64 is the renamed UCI2WB adapter, which I never
used before so I am not familiar with it (I guess I read its specs though
long ago but forgot them meanwhile)

Anyhow after the first drop Stockfish played for the wrong side and WB
claimed of course an illegal move.
No idea what I have done wrong or if it is a problem of Stockfish?

No idea what I have done wrong or if it is a problem of Stockfish?

Code: Select all

"Stockfish_8-64 -var crazyhouse Stockfish8-64" /fd=C:\Engines\Crazyhouse\Stockfish_8-64 -variant crazyhouse -firstOptions "UCI_Variant=Crazyhouse"

Code: Select all

660 <first : feature option="UCI_Variant -combo chess /// atomic /// giveaway /// crazyhouse /// horde /// kingofthehill /// racingkings /// 

LOL it really was the uppercase 'Crazyhouse' that was wrong and reminded me how sensible UCI is in parsing commands.
"UCI_Variant=crazyhouse" in my ini line works now.

[hgm]

it says something like "SF 8 does not support crazyhouse"

OK, I tried it out, and it turns out the UCI2WB version included with WinBoard reacts to the UCI_Chess960 option that this Stockfish also has, and makes its presence overrule the variant list specified with the -var option, to "normal,fischerandom". This can be overruled again by a WinBoard work-around option to overrule engine features. So the engine line would become:

"Stockfish Crazyhouse" -fcp "UCI2WB stockfish /home/andreas/Dokumente/Chess/Engines/Stockfish_Zh/" -fd "." -variant crazyhouse -firstOptions "UCI_Variant=crazyhouse" -firstFeatures {variants="crazyhouse"}

This line tells WinBoard the engine is UCI2WB, in its own folder (-fd "."), and tells UCI2WB it should act as the proxy for "stockfish(.exe)" in the folder "/home/andreas/Dokumente/Chess/Engines/Stockfish_Zh/". It also tells WinBoard to set the engine-defined option UCI_Variant to "crazyhouse" at engine start.

It does no longer tell UCI2WB what variants it should say it plays to the GUI (i.e. no -var option), but it tells WinBoard instead to fake that UCI2WB had said 'feature variants="crazyhouse"', by means of the -firstFeatures option. This guarantees that WinBoard will consider Crazyhouse an OK variant choice for this engine.

This worked for me; I let Stockfish play a zh game against TJchess 1.3, (and it won).

My WB.ini line from previous post looks a bit shorter ;-)

BTW what is behind that ZH convention for crazyhouse?
Why Z for crazy?

[styx]

Oh yeah it works! thank you!

zh is the abbreviation for crazyhouse used by the FICS server (as far as I know). Don't ask me why it's not "ch"

Thanks again HGM. Another final question: are there any plans to support UCI_Variant natively in future versions of winboard/xboard?

I think I read something like that in another thread. This would be pretty neat

Obviously Polyglot should be updated too in the future.

That would be the task of UCI2WB, which mediates between WinBoard and UCI-like engines in a variant-agnostic way. Currently it just deduces the variant from the protocol dialect it is set to (Shogi for USI and Xiangqi for UCCI) and the presence of a Chess960 option (which makes it assume Chess+Chess960).

All that has to be done is make it recognize the UCI_Variant option, and report all choices in there as supported variants to the GUI. And in the other direction set the engine option to what the GUI requested in the 'variant' command. Then UCI2WB can be invoked transparently by just ticking the USI/UCCI checkbox, and the New Variant menu item can be used to select any of the supported variants. This is very little work; perhaps I can even do it tonight.

So I will always need a copy of UCI2WB and tell it via a parameter where the real engine binary is? It's not that convenient but I can live with that

[hgm]

You will always HAVE a copy of UCI2WB, as it has been a standard component of the WinBoard install for ages. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, the WInBoard 4.8.0 install is not pre-configured to use it, but uses the (now obsolete) UCCI2WB instead. In future relases of WinBoard I will correct this. For now you will have to correct it yourself, by running WinBoard once with as 'Additional options':

-uxiAdapter {UCI2WB -%variant %fcp %fd}

After that WinBoard will automatically invoke the UCI2WB.exe in the WinBoard folder whenever you tick the UCCI/USI checkbox in the Load Engine dialog when installing the engine. So the only difference with install of normal UCI engines is that you have to tick UCCI/USI instead of UCI. (The latter would invoke Polyglot.)

Now the second problem is that the UCI2WB that came with WinBoard 4.8.0 does not support the UCI_Variant option, which was invented after its release. I just uploaded an updated UCI2WB.exe, which does support this. You can download it from http://hgm.nubati.net/UCI2WB.exe , and should put it in the WinBoard folder (where winboard.exe is) replacing the existing one.

After that UCI variant engines should work fully transparently, provided you tick UCCI/USI instead of UCI. (Obviously that checkbox will have to be renamed as well in future WinBoard versions.) The engine's line in the engine list would look something like

"NICKNAME" -fcp "stockfish.exe" -fd "STOCKFISH/ZH/FOLDER" -fUCCI

if you installed through the dialog. (With possibly an additional -variant crazyhouse if you ticked 'Force current variant with this engine'.)
