Analyse im doing with "go infinite" Brain with "go ponder".


When pondering, are you sending 2 "go" for each move, right?

>> setoption name Ponder value true
>> ucinewgame
>> isready
wait for readyok

>> position startpos moves
>> go movetime 1000

after 1 second the engine replies:
<< bestmove d2d4 ponder d7d5

and immediately the GUI sends:
>> position startpos moves d2d4 d7d5
>> go ponder

When the user moves:
>> stop
wait for bestmove

>> ponderhit (if the user played the ponder move) or position
>> go movetime 1000
etc...


NO, it doesn't work this way Smile

it work in the following way:
< messages from gui to engine
> messages from engine to gui
# my comments

Quote:
# the game start and the gui ask the engineA to "go"
< position startpos moves e2e4 e7e5
< go wtime 50000 btime 50000

# the engineA start searching and printing his information, then after some time it print his best move and stop thinking:
> bestmove g1f3 ponder b8c6

#the gui make the engineB start thinking, and tell the engineA to ponder
< position startpos moves e2e4 e7e5 g1f3 b8c6
< go wtime 49900 btime 48700 ponder

# the engineA start poindering on the position specificed by the gui and print info about his search..
# now there are 2 possibility
# case A: the engineB play b8c6 by printing bestmove b8c6
# the gui send to the engine a the following comand:

< ponderhit

# now the engine know that he has searched the right move and he continue his search in a standard way, stopping when he want.
# the engineA eventually stop thinking and print his bestmove
> bestmove f1c4 ponder g8f6

# case b: the engineB play another move ,let's say it play g8f6
# in this case the gui send the stop command to the engine, which should not send his bestmove, setup the new position and send the go command
< stop
< position startpos moves e2e4 e7e5 g1f3 g8f6
< go wtime 49900 btimer 45000
# the engineA start the new search after a pondermiss
