Sorry, I have no experience with Polyglot, don't use it for anything and don't feel qualified to attend to this request, which would entail learning it for you, writing an .ini file for you and then testing it for you. I suspect that it's not that hard, though, and that you're thoroughly capable of doing it yourself.

Best, Jeremy

Maybe I'll get something out on the weekend to celebrate the start of Stage 4 of nTCEC.

Hi Jeremy Bernstein;

Thanks for the file..

Can u pls provide the polyglot adaptor with the setting

You should turn logging on in your current ini file, then look into the log file - you'll have all the options listed there.

Hm i was looking for a polyglot file with only settings.
PA GTB has the engine and the settings together, whereas the .ini file provided has information on default settings.
Even if the .ini engine path is given, it still takes the default engine. Thats the reason i asked for PA_GTB file without engine so that using .ini i can map to engine whichever i want..
Have a look at the image provided..

Thanks for any positive replies..

here is a start for you

The polyglot file is divided into two sections:
1) Polyglot
2) Engine

In the Engine section, there are two parts:
1) Stockfish
2) supplement Gaviota
Note: It is not necessary to keep everything in the file, just keep the default settings that you intend to change
Any string beginning with a semicolon is a comment, so please do not remove the semicolons at the risk of breaking the file.

I don't understand your English but presume you're just missing the UCI options added by the pa_gtb patch. Here they are (the few remaining options I've left out you can find yourself in the log file):


Use Persistent Hash = true
Persistent Hash File = stockfish.hsh
Persistent Hash Depth = 17
Persistent Hash Size = 128
Persistent Hash As Book Depth = 30
UseGaviotaTb = true
ProbeOnlyAtRoot = false
GaviotaTbPath = /home/petevine/Tablebases/gaviotatb
GaviotaTbCache = 128
Soft Probe Depth = 2
Hard Probe Depth = 4

Hello Voila;
Thanks for ur time..
Ok let me make my point clear.. I want to use latest Stockfish version with those (soft probe, hard probe etc..) settings..
File compiled by Jeremy Stockfish PA_GTB 001 has Stockfish 101013 version..
So now when i copy your code in Polyglot.ini file with the engine linked to Latest (say for eg: Stockfish 021113). I dont find those settings (soft probe depth, hard probe depth, persistenet hash etc) in Fritz environment..
That was the reason i asked for Polyglot.exe file with only settings, no engine in the compile. so i can use ur code in polyglot.ini and link the latest stockfish engine. Once loaded in Fritz i will find the settings.
Yeah i ask too much but have no options.. Solve this or not, no problem Thanks for ur time..
