New J.A Compiles

[Frank Quisinsky]

Hi there,

good news Jim!
Thanks to Dan, nice that Dan is back.

I made the winboard configuration.
Works fine ...

Only unclear for the moment ...
What is with the ExChess parameter -fcp

My configuration with Shredder 12 GUI:

wb2uci.eng file ...

Code: Select all

[ENGINE]
Name               = Leaf 5382 HCE JA dev xb
Author             = Dan Homan
Filename           = WB2uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program            = Leaf_5382-HCE-JA-dev-xb.exe -fcp
;InitString        =
Ponder             = false
;Logfile           = true
;HashOnCommandline = false
Protocol           = 2
InitTime           = 5
LevelExtend        = none
Analyze            = true
;ShowThinkingMove  = true
UseUndo            = false
WhiteScore         = false
TerminateHard      = true

Visible            = Extras,Logfile,Protocol,InitTime,ShowThinkingMove,LevelExtend

[EXTRAS]
Clear Hash         = clrhash|button

Shredder's *.eng file:

Code: Select all

[ENGINE]
Name=Leaf 5382 HCE JA dev xb
Author=Dan Homan
Filename=C:\Chess\Shredder_12\Engines\Leaf\wb2uci.exe

Again, it works with -fcp parameter.
But maybe that parameter isn't even necessary anymore?
Will test it later this day.

Thanks again to the programmer of EXchess / Leaf.
ExChess was one of the first available WB engines and in the past we are looking every day on the website for a new version. Long years ago. Should be clear because EXchess was in the first rating list for Winboard a must have. We are speaking from the years 1997/1998/1999. Tim Mann (Winboard programmer) used EXchess for experiments (after I remember in times I made an interview with him). German's chess friends thinking often that EXchess is the direct competition to Crafty ... all the years! Unfortunately, two of the biggest German EXchess fans passed away a long time ago.

Best
Frank

Gaia, now the successor from ExChess ... who will be next.
Let's jump but I hope that some days the complete neural network configuration will be not available with Stockfish data. But after all I understand the programmer is working on it with own and nice ideas. Again ... EXchess was cult. A good day, yes today is a very good day. The perfect day ... Dan is back.

Hi Jim,

BTW:
Could you make an exception and compile Igel 3.6.4?

Hi, Jim!
Leaf cant use its own opening book. In search.par all is in order

# Opening book stuff

GAMBIT_SCORE 80 # Maximum gambit allowed (100 = 1 pawn)
BOOK_FILE main_bk.dat # Name of the main opening book file
START_BOOK start_bk.dat # Name of optional starting book file
# -- see start.pgn for a description
BOOK_LEARNING 1 # Set to 0 for no book learning

Files are into Leaf are located.
Moreover, instructions for to build opening book, its not present.
Can you add this instructions? Thanks in advance

Try replacing configuration and book files with later ones contained in Exchess_v797.src.zip

Thanks, Jim! Yes, this was the problem. Take acount for the new compiles
And for to build the books, I must see the Help command in Leaf command line ?
