Hello chess friends! I know - that´s a rather quick update, but I´ve now solved the 2 most annoying things of PopeyeUCI: 1) with ´SearchDepth=0´ (or any negative value) Popeye now always searches for the shortest mate (i.e. starts iterating from depth 1) 2) the popup-window of the Popeye-output during its calculation (which wasn´t really very nice to view) has been eliminated - now the GUI gets the infos about current depth, movenumber and move directly from PopeyeUCI, and displays these informations by itself. Moreover the key move of every found solution is also displayed immediately, and this solution move is executed on the board after the search is finished (but ONLY the key move, NOT the complete main line). (Some more details can be found in ´Changes.txt´ and ´PopeyeUCI.txt´!) I think, that these changes now make the usage of PopeyeUCI more comfortable - I´ll not make any further improvements for Popeye (as e.g. a complete analysis of the solution file), because its output is so complicated and unclear (and completely different for those lots of problem types), that this task would probably take the rest of my life. ;-) So this version 1.1 is at the same time the final version of PopeyeUCI (of course except for necessary bugfixes - if someone finds such a bug :-)). With my best regards, Franz. Download of PopeyeUCI Ver.1.1 under: http://www.uciengines.de/UCI-Engines/PopeyeUCI/popeyeuci.html
