Thank you. Good that you like it.

BTW: has someone managed to run ChestUCI under Winboard?

Hello Volker,

BTW: has someone managed to run ChestUCI under Winboard?

an interesting question indeed!

Well, I had a similar idea (a ChestWB) already when I started to write this UCI interface for Chest, and for _me_ this would of course be not really a big task.
But, what about all these options and parameters in ChestUCI?
AFAIK (correct me if I?m wrong) there?s no (simple) possibility in Winboard to set such values in a comfortable menu or dialog window!?
Would you really like to always use a texteditor to change any setting of Chest in an external configuration file? (I won?t)
But maybe anyone has a good idea for this problem - I would be the first one to support (i.e. write) such a WB-version of Chest too ...

Best regards,
Franz.

Using Polyglot it is already working. Just paste the position into WB and start analysis. For details have a look in the ChestUCI.log:

I admit I used your program only with the standard settings now. i have no idea about all the parameters. I also don't understand them now. But I will have a look in the next days.
