Polyglot Problem as suggested by m.t_mode

[elcriollito]

I checked inside the folder of engine ,and,i did no see Rybka there, probably because it is no there that's the problem
when i open the folder look what i have to the end
Folder---->Poliglot
Folder---->Engine
Folder---->Crafty and Fruit

just in case that rybka is missing at all,how can i add rybka or more engine uci to this engine

(this is my idea,just let me know if i am right..copy pasting from my engine collection to this engine folder inside poliglot and then selecting like i did for fruit to play,could work my idea like that?)

[DeepThought]

Just put the rybka engine at the engien folder, then it'll work.

[DeepThought]

Anyone has a strong .bin book?

[elcriollito]

I have all their 3 chess engine working

thnks DeepThought

[DeepThought]

Of course, thank you Is there any way to use other book format like .ctg? I don't know how to use the .ini

[DeepThought]

Can anyone please tell me how to use books like rybka.ini book.

[elcriollito]

This is my problem >>I don't see in the winboard polyglot conection my engine already added in the polyglot ini,so I only see those 3 engine that normally have (crafty,fruit and rybka)

Probably I am missing to add something here below
I want to know if this is the winboard .ini files where I have to add my new engine once I have crated the engine folder and the polyglot ini
check below the blue typed>>> Is that the place where to add the location of my engine to later see on my winboard polyglot and choose to play online

Location: Citizen of Earth Yeah, it gave me ideas, I downloaded a file from wbec.ridderkerk, all examples of .ini files.

The only problem is, (I have unlimited number of problems, eh?) When a person goes in at my table, it kibitzes, or says: Welcome (name), programs only. Can anyone please tell me a working solution?

[elcriollito]

According to these, when we want winboard.ini reconizer my engine ,I am suppost to add another line with its engine update directory right?
this is beside the .ini files already made

So the right step by step should be look like this,Any one agree with me

"Engine Name" /fcp="Version engine.exe" /fd="C:\Polyglot\Engine\new engine"

}
/firstChessProgramNames={"Crafty 21.5" /fcp="crafty-21.5-blended.exe" /fd="C:\Polygot\Engine\crafty"
"Fruit 2.3.1" /fUCI /fcp="Fruit-2-3-1.exe" /fd="C:\Polygot\Engine\Fruit"
"Rybkav2.3.2a.w32.exe" /fcp="polyglot.exe polyglot_rybka.ini"
}
/secondChessProgramNames={"Crafty 21.5" /scp="crafty-21.5-blended.exe" /sd="C:\Polygot\Engine\crafty"
"Fruit 2.3.1" /sUCI /scp="Fruit-2-3-1.exe" /sd="C:\Polygot\Engine\Fruit"
"Rybkav2.3.2a.w32.exe" /scp="polyglot.exe polyglot_rybka.ini"

[Waldemar]

Rybka is working well for me in winboard under polygot using fruit opening book , What I did was:

......In polygot.ini......

[Polyglot]
EngineDir = C:\Polygot\Engine\Rybka
EngineCommand = Rybka.exe
Book = true
BookFile = C:\Polygot\Book\fruit.bin
[Engine]
UCI_LimitStrength = true
UCI_Elo = 1974
Hash = 128
NalimovPath = C:\TB
NalimovCache = 16
OwnBook = true

And in ....winboard.ini...

/firstChessProgramNames={"C:\Polygot\polyglot.exe"

PS: Follow the path according to your computer (I did my path and renamed my files)

[Toga121par]

For the sake of clarifying things about the polyglot adapter. It's a UCI to Winboard adapter. It's function is to use a pure UCI engine like Rybka, Fruit or Toga to communicate as a Winboard(WB) engine, thus enabling it to function in the Winboard GUI or interface. Crafty, on the other hand doesn't need polyglot as it is already a WB engine. But if you like to use it as UCI engine, you have to use WB2UCI adapter set-up by ODD Gunnar Malin, use again the polyglot adapter (very complicated!) to function as you intended, which is not really the right thing to do.

As per example by DeepThought, Winboard will now detect the polyglot adapter as a Rybka Winboard engine because of the conversion. I hope this helps.

Polyglot.ini example:
------------------------------

[PolyGlot]

EngineName = XXX Killer ; to distinguish from the default version
EngineDir = C:\Engines\XXX
EngineCommand = xxx
Book = false ; to enable/disable an PolyGlot book
BookFile =PolyGlot.bin
Log = true
LogFile = Killer.log
Resign = true ; to enable/disable resign
ResignScore = 800
DrawOffer = true ; to enable/disable draw offer
DrawOfferMoves = 11

[Engine]

Hash = 64
OwnBook = true

Playing Style = Killer ; engine-specific option

Lastly, you just need to input location of your preferred engine in Winboard or manually set it at winboard.ini. You can try using the much improved Winboard_x by Alessandro Ascotti here:
