Hi,

I had problems with the new Roce 0.0380.

When it plays vs a human, it works fine, but in tournament it does'nt play a single move after the last books move.

My system: PIV, XP SP2.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Roce 0.0380 plays fine here vs other engines, using PolyGlot 1.4w2/WB, WinXP.

Best wishes,
Leo

Hi Leo,

I would use Poce 0.0380 as UCI Engine.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I read here and also in your forum that you have some problems with my new version. Trying to figure out what's causing the problems I just installed Arena on a 2nd computer but still it works as expected here. I thought it could be related to my new time allocating method. To make the code more portable I changed all the time related code, maybe that's causing the problems on your computer. None of my computer seems to have any problems though.

Another cause for the problems you have might be that you downloded a buggy version which I uploaded on my homepage by accident. This version was replaced really quickly but still there is a chance that you're testing that version. To see if you have this broken version just doubleclick on it and type analyze in the window and if it doesn't start to calculate it's the broken version you have.

best regards
Roman

PS: I'm testing here a new version with hash-tables (finally) and I'm going to release that really soon as it seems to be about 30-40 points stronger than 0.037. So I won't mind if you (or Leo) don't test 0.038 at all. Still I would like to know what's causing the problems you have.

Hi Roman,

I think I have the right version (05/07/08 14:25).

As I wrote on my forum, it's very strange. On Fritz GUI and Shredder Classic no problem. But on Arena 1.1, after the last book move, Roce doen't realy start. After 1 minute, it starts (the clock is reinitialized!). And do with each games.

Patrick

Hi Patrick,
thanks for the additional details. I have to confess that I didn't test with a book yesterday but I did that today (by using the Arena Main-Book from Harry Schnapp).
But still I have no problems here. I tried several time controls but after the book moves it would start immediately to calculate on a move without any delay.
Are you maybe playing with ponder on? That might cause this behaviour as the code for pondering is in alpha-stage. Another reason for the problem could be that the roce.cfg file is not in the same directory as the binary. Roce will read that file by startup and if it's not there issue a warning which might confuse Arena.
Another -rather unrealistic- possibility is that one of the compiler switches I used is causing problems on some CPUs (I think I used -Ox instead of -O2 for the compile).

best regards
Roman

Hi Roman,

I use a PIV, Win XP SP2. I don't use ponder on.

It's very strange, when I play against Roce, it replays immediatly. The problem only occurs in engines tournament.

Patrick

When changing my time allocating sheme I also implemented some routines to output how much time was allocated. That could be another source for the problems.
I removed that debugging stuff now and maybe you can check if it still behaves strangely (I also used the old compiler switches just in case).

link: http://www.rocechess.ch/roce/roce38x.zip

This compile uses also hash-tables btw (I didn't want to edit my old code).

Roce 0.0380 Empty Re: Roce 0.0380

Post  Roman Hartmann (Roce) Sun Jul 13, 2008 11:45 pm

Hi Patrick,
thanks for the debug-listing. The 'Illegal move: stopreadyok' is particulary interesting.

I guess I know what's causing the problem. Arena seems to send the "stop" command even though there is nothing to be stopped anymore as the "stop" command was sent already before. I implemented a workaround for this now. I hope Arena doesn't send other unexpected things as well as I only covered the case when the "stop" command is sent even though there is nothing to be stopped. Not that I'm blaming Arena for this problem though.

link to fixed engine: http://www.rocechess.ch/roce/roce38x.zip

Btw, the debug looks a little bit different when I start a tournament with Arena here. But probably I'm using a different version of Arena. I'm using version Arena 1.99beta5 (Build 2286).

best regards
Roman

PS: Just had a look into the standard and it's definitely my fault. That's what the UCI-Standard says
* if the engine receives a command which is not supposed to come, for example "stop" when the engine is
not calculating, it should also just ignore it.
Seems I was a bit sloppy there ...

Hi Roman,

The version 13/07/08 22:34 works now with Arena 1.1 Very Happy

Thanks for your job.

But now it's a new engine with hashtables support. No ? Perhaps this version must call Roce 0.0381.

Hi Patrick,
You're right, of course. But this new versions still needs some testing before I'm going to release it. I'm not too unhappy with the hash-table implementation as it plays definitely better in the endgame but now with the hash-tables null-move is causing some problems. Sometimes it will play "funky" moves now.

best regards
Roman

Edit: For those who are running tournaments with Arena here is a link to a version that works under Arena. The difference to version 0.038 is that it has hash-tables and doesn't use a verification search. The problem with null-move is probably fixed (this problem is not present in the official 0.038 only in 0.038x). Note that this is not an official release even though I gave it a new number (0.0381 as suggested by Patrick).
