Ah! I see what's happening.

That means it's not able to find the neural net description files (eval.net and meval.net), and is using fallback built-in material-only eval.

Scid is not running the engine in the right working directory.

Thanks Matthew,

I have now set the working directory manually and get...

Code: Select all

Engine: # Using ANN evaluator
Engine: # Using ANN move evaluator
... which I suppose is right.
