TCEC Stage 3 (Season 2) has started with Houdini dev version

Unfortunately the UCI setting to set syzygy path doesn't show up (I'm using Hiarcs Explorer)
Thanks anyway for providing a stronger compile

You're right, I just checked and the docs state:

Syzygybases

Configuration

Syzygybases are configured using the UCI options "SyzygyProbeLimit" and "SyzygyPath".

But only the SyzygyProbeLimit option show up. Ronald, any suggestion ? (I used the default makefile included in the sources, because using a generic compile line with "*.cpp" got me clang complaining:

Code: Select all

tbcore.cpp:248:6: error: use of undeclared identifier 'Tablebases'
void Tablebases::init(const std::string& path)
     ^
tbcore.cpp:248:29: error: use of undeclared identifier 'std'
void Tablebases::init(const std::string& path)
                            ^
2 errors generated.

[moderation]

I think that it is better if the moderator delete Anil V Dharan's post together with my reply.

Good call Uri. I was precisely pondering this very idea, so your post made me decide for the suppression of Anil's post.

@Anil:
Please, don't mention this subject anymore.

I did the same compiled with Intel, on Windows, on Fritz.

I have not lost much time,
simply copy the options higher on the list of options, and it worked.

Code: Select all

 
 o["Write Debug Log"]             = Option(false, on_logger);
  o["Write Search Log"]            = Option(false);
  o["Search Log Filename"]         = Option("SearchLog.txt");
  o["Book File"]                   = Option("book.bin");
  o["Best Book Move"]              = Option(false);
 o["Probe Syzygybases"]           = Option(6, 0, 6);
  o["Syzygybases Path"]            = Option("", on_tb_path);
 o["Contempt Factor"]             = Option(0, -50,  50);
  o["Mobility (Midgame)"]          = Option(100, 0, 200, on_eval);
  o["Mobility (Endgame)"]          = Option(100, 0, 200, on_eval);

ect, ect

Thanks for the tip, Jose. That's a bit weird. Is there another option disappearing when you do so ? (The last one in the list)

[Andre]

maybe the issue is linked to what Matthias mentioned here

I had seen this last line in the last Ivanhoes,
perhaps when the number of choices is odd, last disappears.

Code: Select all

 { "", "", -1, -1, 0, 0, FALSE, NULL, NULL }
