Loved this feature of persistent analysis already way back then, had the engine from here
https://www.open-chess.org/viewtopic.php?p=20589#p20589
It came with a text called About Persistent Hash, lately I read it again and gave this one part of it a try, a hadn't done so far:
Tried with shortest syntax and argument noce at the end of .epd- string. That is answered in console like this_COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
- "importepd": typing 'importepd <filename.epd>' will attempt to import positions and analysis from EPD files. The EPD files must contain the following fields for each record: 'bm' (best move), 'ce' (centipawn evaluation) and 'acd' (analysis count depth). A final argument of 'noce' can be used to indicate that 'ce' fields may not be present -- if they are missing for a particular record, the record will be scored "Wins" for the side to move. EPD moves are always imported as Root node analysis.
with e.g.info string Persistent Hash imported 0 records
1B1r4/rp2npkp/2b1pbp1/1qp5/nPN1R3/1P1P1QP1/2P2PBP/5R1K w - - bm Qxf6+; ce 800; acd 35;
instead:
Yet I don't see any effect in analysis- output of the so created and by the engine used .hsh- file.info string Persistent Hash imported 1 records
Does anybody have any experience with this kind of feature, which could give big ease to let engine learn from .epd, couldn't it?
Many thanks in advance and best
