Notes about new Little Goliath version

Today a new version of Little Goliath Evolution was released
at Michael Borgst?dts site.
I noticed that at least the Opening_Book option is case sensitive!
Hence for all who use LGEvo with Polyglot please note that, if
you want to change the default book value 'wide' to 'tournament',
it must be exactly like that, otherwise LGEvo starts calculating.

My Polyglot.ini file e.g.:

Code: Select all
[PolyGlot]

EngineName = LittleGoliathEvolution_1018
EngineDir = .
EngineCommand = LittleGoliathEvolution1018.exe

Log = true
LogFile = LittleGoliathEvolution_1018.log

Resign = true
ResignScore = 800

[Engine]

Hash = 128
Opening_Book = tournament
OwnBook = true
NalimovPath = C:\Sicherheit\Chess\Tbs
NalimovCache = 8


Here are all UCI options listed:
(I wonder why the 'Tablebases' option is 'false' by default?
I haven't tested it yet with tbs, thus my values above
are just my generic ones and I probably have to add
'Tablebases = true')
Code: Select all
< ENGINE id name Little Goliath Evolution
< ENGINE id author Michael Borgstaedt, Germany
< ENGINE option name Hash type spin default 32 min 1 max 512
< ENGINE option name Position_Learning type check default false
< ENGINE option name Tablebases type check default false
