Thanks, Peter. However, the new behaviour of Petir is a bit surprising. Under Arena, a pop-up window appears saying "do not close this window". Can we not do without this?

Ah, I see that Petir needs the xboard command again.

Hello Peter,

Petir 2.3a only working under Arena 1.1
when selecting 'winboard(old)'

Stalls when using default . (also stalls using wb2uci adapter)

That's as far as it gets.

do you mean that Petir don't work under Winboard?
That's weird, on my computer it's work OK.
Gunther Simon also use Petir 2.3a in third round RWBC and
he also use Winboard and works fine

Posted: **04 Feb 2005, 07:10**

Just under Arena 1.1 - winboard 2 protocol.

Jim.

Petir 2.3a works well here under Arena 1.1 - as far as I can remember I installed it under the wb2 protocol (cannot check it right now).

Nope, tried it again - same thing >

Doesn't get any further. Seem to be stalling
on 'MoveNow command'.

my machine specs:

Athlon XP-M 2500
XP Pro - Service Pack 2
Arena 1.1

As I said above old winboard protocol 1 works,
but not protocol 2.

sure, Petir still don't recognize ? command,

Posted: **04 Feb 2005, 15:24**

Could you not implement a simple movenow command
and just return a

Code: Select all: printf ("\n");

to stop it stalling here?

i don't get it, shouldn't "?" command used when computer is thinking
to make it move immediately?

copied from engine-intf.html :

? Move now. If your engine is thinking, it should move immediately; otherwise, the command should be ignored (treated as a no-op). It is permissible for your engine to always ignore the ? command. The only bad consequence is that xboard's Move Now menu command will do nothing.

Posted: **04 Feb 2005, 18:18**

You're right of course Peter, it should be treated
as a no op, be ignored and continue but it isnt. Of
course it may not be the move now command causing
the problem, but the fact is, at least on my machine that's
as far as it gets with protocol 2 in Arena.

Jim.

I just tested Petir 2.2 and that works perfectly in Arena.
Here's the output >

Looks like it may be the 'reuse' command as Petir 2.3a
freezes after the 'accepted setboard' command. (That's
assuming you haven't re-written this part of the code
between 2.2 and 2.3)

Posted: **04 Feb 2005, 23:13**

ah, now I know why, you must forget to copy
book files (white.book and black.book) to directory
where petir23a located.

just copy them and everything should work fine

looks like a bug in book initialization

Posted: **05 Feb 2005, 07:59**

Thanks Peter,
That was it, no books. Very sorry to have troubled
you with a non-problem that was down to my own
carelessnesss..
"..What kind of fool am I?..." :

Regards,
Jim.

Hi Peter,

I had the same trouble with Petir because the latest download from Leo's site doesn't include books... (though I got them from an earlier download). Maybe you can make the books available separately or add them back into your main distribution?

Thanks,
Michael
