Stockfish problem in the Shredder 12 GUI?

Post by Graham Banks »

The Shredder 12 GUI won't recognise the Stockfish JA compile as a uci engine, so it can't be used in that GUI.
However, no problems in the Shredder 11 GUI.
Can anybody else confirm this?

Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Silvian,

did you change the default parameters and create as a new engine? I'm using threads=1.

Hi Graham,
another CEGT Tester has had the same Problem with Rybka. I asked him to rename the engine.exe with a name without spaces (and perhaps shorter).
Here I have no problems with 64bit version - I am using 2CPU. So i created a new engine.

Thanks Werner. I tried renaming to stockfish.exe, but still had no joy. Strangely enough, I have no problems under the Shredder 11 GUI on the same computer with stockfish_151_ja.exe. Very perplexing.

Graham.

No ! I use Stockfish 1.5 with the default parameters on a single CPU computer with 32 bit OS.
