Polyglot now supports the UCI protocol:-)

Post by Michel »

Here is a new version of Polyglot1.4w10 which makes it possible to use Polyglot books under UCI GUIs. People like Marc Lacrosse had asked for such a tool to make it easier (trivial in fact) to use PG books in ChessBase.

See

for more details.

Here is a Windows executable

To Fonzy Bleumers: since this version of Polyglot is fully compatible with 1.4w10 I hope you want to merge it in your tree. In that case I can explain the changes in more detail to you. If not then I will maintain it as a separate version.

Buglet.

PG 1.4w10UCIb does not pass on setoption commands from the GUI to the Engine.

I will put up new sources tonight, as well as a new Windows binary.
