How to set hash in Pro Deo 1.1 UCI + Polyglot 1.1

[Igor Korshunov]

WB version of Pro Deo 1.1 sometimes loses on time.
Seems UCI version has not this problem. But there is another one.

I use Pro Deo with Polyglot. Pro Deo doesn't declare option 'Hash'. So Polyglot doesn't send setoption command to Pro Deo.
As a result Pro Deo uses default hash table which is above 100 Mb.

Are someone know how to set size of hash table in Pro Deo 1.1 UCI used with Polyglot?

And finally really nice game.

Hi,

I did expect this sort of problems.

You are right that recent versions of PolyGlot only send values for declared options. I will make sure this behaviour is modifiable (but still default) in the future.

Since Pro Deo is in fact not UCI and the WB2UCI adapter is used, isn't there a way to force declaration of the Hash option? Very strange it's not the default already ... Or maybe change the value directly in WB2UCI's config file (assuming there is one).

If all fails, either: you use an older version of PolyGlot, or I make a special version which sends values for all options listed in the INI file regardless of engine declarations (this is the behaviour of older PolyGlots).

Good luck,

Fabien.
