What about my configuration to test new version engine againt the old one?


cutechess-cli -openings file=opening.epd format=epd -engine cmd=engold proto=uci -engine cmd=engnew proto=uci -each tc="0/0:15+0.05" -repeat -tournament gauntlet -pgnout out.pgn -recover -rounds 2 -games 60000 -draw ...

here UCI protocol http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/UCIProtocol.html
next step read/write on PIPE (example http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-io/pipes.html)

yes, all 8500 games have <= 5 men, for this reason it seems to me a strange result.

Here the link to results pgn file

sorry I did not understand your question

I launched 8500 game between stockfish 6 and stockfish 6 without endgame
in file endgame.cpp I removed the contents of the constructor


Endgames::Endgames() {
//add<KPK>("KPK");
//add<KNNK>("KNNK");
etc.
}

and the result is very strange because wins the version without endgame:


Rank Name Elo ...

hi, which is the gain in elo when using endgame function as KPK KNK KNNKN etc. (interior node recognition NO tablebase)?
my tests are failing and gain very few elo

sorry! he Rook is never captured, it is a Pawn that is captured.

Rf3xc3 capture the pawn immediatly, Kc6b5 capture in two or more steps

The best move for "8/8/2k1K3/8/8/2P2r2/8/8 b - - 0 1" is f3c3

in my engine at depth 1 is ok and centipawn is 564 (captured rook):

info score cp 564 depth 1 nodes 18 time 0 pv f3c3

at depth 2 best move is c6b5 and centipawn is 568 because in quescence rook is captured after c6b5 e6e5

info ...

Hi, i would like to implement an simple SMP algorithm but I'm confused. What do you advise me to start?

Where can I find a sample code for EPVS ?
