Problem with Frith UCI GUI

Hello,

i am new this forum :)

I am having some problems with the Fritz 14 GUI. My engine sends a info string to the standard output stream (containing some data like PV, time, depth, and nodes) afer the search has finished, but fritz behaves a bit strange. It does show the correct time, depth and PV, but it just don't want to show the nodes count. I have no idea what the problem could be. I found another thread on this forum covering this question, the answers to this suggest to lower the thread priority of the engine. But i doubt that this is the problem in my case, since the GUI shows the other infos correct, it just doesn't show the node counts.

Here is a log of what i send to the GUI:

Code: Select all
info depth 8 nodes 6564990
info score mate 1 time 23169 pv a8b8 c1d1 b8b1
bestmove a8b8


I tried it in different combinations, all infos in one line, all sepperated, but it doesn't change anything.. So i am really curious if this is a bug in the Fritz GUI? Did anyone else face this strange behaviour? When i tried it with the Arena GUI it showed me the correct node count.

Best regards,
ChessChris

UCI specs say that all infos have to come in the same info command as the pv, so what you write above (depth and nodes separate) is non-compliant. But it seems you tried that. I don't know anything about Fritz.
