===============================================================================
I'm about ready to send out the latest package. You may also replace Fritz 8
with any Chessbase engine that has the Fritz 7 or 8 GUI - Shredder 6/7, Junior 8
(not 7) and Hiarcs 8 and Tiger 15(Chessbase) all work. These files should also
work in Arena and Chespartner - by right now I use mostly Fritz 8 GUI.
The package includes the latest executable of modified Crafty 19.03 SP (Special)
and all the Fritz 8 files and folders to use a bunch of different Crafty
personalities. The SE folder even lets you set your own settings. If you come
up with a good one let me know and I may incorporate it in the next release.
It has several commands not in regular Crafty
krafty <level> - this is how set the personality from the command line. It is
much easiier to set everything from the Fritz 8 GUI.
dm (delay move) - Ideally used with a search depth set to - say to 3. Normally
Crafty will move instantly with sd=3 - with delay move on, Crafty will still
search only 3 plies - but it will use all the time as it would normally. If
you are like me and get annoyed by instanteous response while trying to play
Crafty at a weaker level - you will like this option. You can use it with ANY
time control - it will adjust automatically.
It also has a "value" command to set different values for the pieces.
also included are all the Fritz 8 "eng" folders and files - modify to suit your
directory setup. I included specific personality settings as engines as well
the SE and ST folders. The SE engine lets you select a personality from the
GUI, the ST engines you select the a multitute of various Crafty parameters
right from the GUI. In additioin, I have modify the eng files to allow the user
to select their own nullmove settings. However, I must warm you that this
version has self adaptable null move settings that are based on the standard 2
3. You may get unexpected results using anything else but 2 3. I really just
put that in there for testing pieces.
No crafty.rc file is required - you can modify the eng file to suit your own
taste. It will howver accept a crafty,rc file if that ss your preference.
The common folder has the executable, the logo and the wb2uci.exe I use. Copy
these to all the engine folders you wish to add and then import the wb2uci.exe
file as you would normally. There are several web pages devoted to explaining
this process better than I can.
Email before the weekend is over if you wish to receive this package. I
normally only send it out once and then you have to wait until the next version
- if there is one. Type "include" in the subject heading. I may not have time
to repsond to all emails - I have over 100 people now receiving my modify crafty
packages.
