Penguin 12.1 (GUI/PGN Editor - Analysis UCI Mode

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello ,

Dariusz, author of http://www.dashstofsk.net/penguin.html wrote to me:

Do you know of any other engines that require additional parameters?
(except of: GNUChess for Windows and Absolute Zero : both have a commandline-parameter -u > UCI mode, annotation by myself)

So it appears that many 64-bit engines do work with Penguin? But only
on a 64-bit computer? Users will just have to try and adopt the one
that works for them.

Unfortunately, Penguin can only run one UCI engine at a time.


I have tested it on Windows 7 SP1 64 bit with Stockfish 7 x64, Gull 3.1 JMV x64, Equinox 3.30 x64 and Critter 1.6a x64.

Perhaps you can run Penguin 12.1 on other 32/64 bit Windows operation systems than Edition 7 x64.

The implementation of external UCI compatible programs into Penguin GUI: Actions > Launch UCI Interface

No experiences are existing about WinBoard-chess engines with WB2UCI converter.

Your help would be appreciated!

Best wishes,
Norbert
