I don't know though if the problem lies in SF8ZH or WB2UCI or even both?
The symptom is that it starts to analyse but sticks to the first choosen position and doesn't react when stepping through a game.
(Sometimes it even says again it doesn't support crazyhouse and the board reverts to normal chess)
I do not notice any problems with the latest versions of engine + adapter in this respect. It should even be possible to exclude moves from analysis (at least if Stockfish supports the 'searchmoves' command).
There was a problem earlier in connection with setting up positions (so not related to analysis per se), but this has been solved in this version of UCI2WB.
I never saw what you describe here. It suggests the engine does not respond to the UCI 'stop' command, or that the adapter stopped listening to the GUI entirely.
Well I guess you mean the newer engine Andreas compiled and also probably a newer xboard instead of my WB 4.80b?
I used the Fishnet 021116 binary from
https://github.com/niklasf/Stockfish/releases
This is what I get:
1. started WB with debug and SF8ZH (selected 1st and 2nd BTW)
2. loaded a game file with ZH games
3. selected a game
4. started analyze mode
5. stepped further in the game
6. it does not react
7. WB cannot be quit normally - does not react to quit
8. SF8ZH hangs
(I have cut loading and parsing games from the file)
