Oh nice! Great to see an engine with OSX build already done for me. But I appear to be having an issue in the mac version, (both pop and regular 64bit versions and i haven't tried it on another OS) Unfortunately it will only move once, and on the next turn, throw up a few lines of PV on the engine output box, and then never move again. I have an intel i7 core duo on my laptop, OS 10.9.2, and the cheese.ini is the default:

Code: Select all: [Engine] # Main hash table Size (8, 16, 32 ,64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096) Hash=128 # Use own opening book = 1 Book=0 # If use own book : path to opening book file BookFile=cheeseopenbook.bin

This is as white or black, and basically any time control I have tried.

{edit]

The problem appears to be when used in xboard mode, it works fine in UCI. I didn't realize you supported both.

Thanks for reporting this problem.

I see no problem on Windows when I use my engine in Winboard mode in Arena, and it seems to work with Winboard but I see that pondering is enabled by default.

I don't remember the option to enable Winboard logfile, but it could help me to see what happens.

to activate it just add the -debug flag to the launching command to xboard/winboard.
This is what I got.

There is an UCI command "info depth..." I should not send in Winboard mode, but I don't think it's a real problem.

I can't reproduce this problem on Windows, I will test on OS X and Linux and try to fix it when I have some time.
You could try to disable pondering, to see if it's related to pondering or not.

Thanks for your help.

by **Josh Pettus** » 13 May 2014, 00:50

Hey, no problem. Glad to help!

It does appear to be ponder related as it works fine when disabled.

by **Patrice Duhamel** » 31 May 2014, 10:05

I released a new version, Cheese 1.6.1 :

http://cheesechess.free.fr/en/download.html

Changes :

- Fixed problem in pondering on Linux / Mac OS X, now use unbuffered stdin
- Fixed problems when pondering was canceled
- Fixed "level" command for Xboard, now use floats for increment
- Fixed : uci command "info depth" was sent in Xboard mode

This version should fix the pondering problem on Mac OS X / Linux.
