ProDeo 2.2 SMP

[Werner]

It works here.
There are two different Downloads. Use the other one.

[mclane]

You have to download the SMP version, not the normal 2.2 version.

Werner & Thorsten, thanks! You are both right; it was user error after all .

There is a separate download for ProDeo 2.2 SMP - use that one. It works as described by Ed!

Cheers,
CL

Downloaded Prodeo 2.2 (smp).. RR tourney underway (30 chess engines + most/all of the Rebel/Prodeo engines...2.2 smp might be a few elo stronger than 2.0 (but not much).....Engines KO Champs 2016-2017 4 game matches..Rebel 6.0 leads Prodeo 2.0 -Two games to One with one game remaining...AR

It seems the engine needs an update in code, not only in op. books.

Crafty got a lot better these years...

I´m still a fan of Rebel/Prodeo because I can draw one to ten games out of 100, while Stockfish (& other top-10 engines) beats me badly 100 - 0.

I still run Rebel old DOS versions under DOSBox in Linux. It´s a pity there is not a new Prodeo engine for DOS. That´s nostalgia !

I´m running prodeo 2.2 SMP under ChessPartner (Yes ! Nostalgia again...).

Somehow I can´t see nothing when I open the tutor tab.

Here´s what I get in the last tab:

I´m confused about those files mainbook.bin, .val and tourbook.bin ... do I have to delete them,or they can co-exist in the same subforder with .cht and .ebf files ?

There are also many \book folders:

\ChessPartner\Engines\book
\ChessPartner\Engines\Prodeo22-SMP\books
\ChessPartner\Engines\Prodeo22-SMP\Q3\books ==>where I installed the .cht and .ebf files

What am I doing wrong ?

[Rebel]

I´m running prodeo 2.2 SMP under ChessPartner (Yes ! Nostalgia again...)

\ChessPartner\Engines\book
\ChessPartner\Engines\Prodeo22-SMP\books
\ChessPartner\Engines\Prodeo22-SMP\Q3\books ==>where I installed the .cht and .ebf files

All books belong into the red folder.

In tutor-tab you will get a statistic of the order books are searched, something like:

Code: Select all

 Moves played from Programmable Book :    0
 Moves played from Tournament Book   :    4
 Moves played from Main Book         :    0
 Moves played from SF7 Book          :    0 (illegal 0)
 Moves played from EBF Book          :    0 (illegal 0)
 Moves played from CHT Book          :    0

[Ponti]

Other questions:

1) What is the better interface to run prodeo ?

2) Is it possible to see the op. moves chosen fron .ebf or .cht running it with Arena (I guess it is not possible under Fritz because it only works with .ctg op. books) ?

It seems to play moves only from mainbook.bin or tourbook.bin ... ?

You can see the same book statistic in the textfile PARAM.TXT thus valid for every GUI.
