Go up one level in this thread


According to the informations of Wb2Uci author Odd Gunnar Malin (see
"Engines.txt") there is some problem when analyzing with Gandalf because of the
need for the old edit command. Infinity analyzes of a game with normal
startposition should work ok.

The Wb2Uci.eng file for Gandalf (Bookpath and NalimovPath are individual of
course):

[ENGINE]
Name=Gandalf 5.1
Author=Steen Suurballe
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=gandalf51.exe
InitString=resign 7 999
HashCommand=hashmem %i
Edit=edit
;ShowThinkingMove=true
;Logfile=true
Visible=Ponder,Hash,ShowThinkingMove,Logfile,OwnBook,Extras

[EXTRAS]
Contempt=contempt|spin|0|-100|100
NalimovPath=tbdir|string|c:\nalimov
NalimovCache=tbcache %i|spin|8|1|32
Learning=learning|check|false|0|1
Bookpath=bookpath|string|c:\gandalf

Another possibility is the WinBoard adaptor of ChessBase. Gandalf author Steen
Suurballe made much efforts to fit his Winboard engine to this CB/WB adaptor -
with special commands in CommandLine of gandalf.init (nodebug xfritz xboard).
