As of now only the engine configuration can be put into a JSON file (engines.json). So what you're asking for is not possible yet, but will be in the next version.
No, I wasn't asking for a new feature. Just wanted to know how to write a JSON file. Should it be called engines.json and be in the current directory ? Do you know where I can find an example of such a file ?
Ah, okay. Yes, the file should be called engines.json and should be placed in the current directory.

The file should obey JSON rules (http://www.json.org/). Probably the most important thing to remember is to escape special characters with a backslash. The file's contents should look like this:

Code: Select all

[
   {
      "command" : "fruit",
      "name" : "Fruit-2.1",
      "options" : [
         {
            "name" : "Hash",
            "value" : 32
         },
         {
            "name" : "OwnBook",
            "value" : false
         },
         {
            "name" : "NullMove Pruning",
            "value" : "Fail High"
         }
      ],
      "protocol" : "uci",
      "workingDirectory" : ""
   },
   {
      "command" : "crafty",
      "name" : "Crafty-23.4",
      "options" : [
         {
            "name" : "memory",
            "value" : 32
         },
         {
            "name" : "cores",
            "value" : 2
         }
      ],
      "protocol" : "xboard",
      "whitepov" : true,
      "workingDirectory" : "",
      "initStrings" : [
         "command 1",
         "command 2"
      ]
   }
]
You can use the engines.json file and command line options at the same time. That is to say, you can easily override any options from the config file with a command line option if you need to.

Thanks, I'll start playing around with JSON 8-)

Hello Ilari,

It seems that cutechess-cli 0.5 is causing certain engines to crash. For example Jazz 501 and Beowulf 2.4. Here's the debug output of a game where Beowulf 2.4 crashed:

I suspect the engines are at fault rather than cutechess-cli,. I'll run the same with cutechess-cli 0.4.2 and compare to see if I can find the difference that made them crash.

I sent the commands manually to Beowulf, exactly the same commands in the same order as the ones sent by cutechess-cli, and this is the one that caused it to crash:

Code: Select all

position startpos moves e2e4 c7c5 g1f3 b8c6 d2d4 c5d4 f3d4 g8f6
However this command is perfectly correct, so Beowulf 2.4 is at fault, not cutechess-cli. The only thing I don't understand is why Beowulf 2.4 works fine with cutechess-cli 0.4.2.
I didn't have a look at Jazz 501, but it also crashes. Note that Jazz 501 is an xboard engine.

I sent the commands manually to Beowulf, exactly the same commands in the same order as the ones sent by cutechess-cli, and this is the one that caused it to crash:

Code: Select all

position startpos moves e2e4 c7c5 g1f3 b8c6 d2d4 c5d4 f3d4 g8f6
However this command is perfectly correct, so Beowulf 2.4 is at fault, not cutechess-cli. The only thing I don't understand is why Beowulf 2.4 works fine with cutechess-cli 0.4.2.
I didn't have a look at Jazz 501, but it also crashes. Note that Jazz 501 is an xboard engine.
In other words, that stupid Beowulf is saying that in this position:
[d]r1bqkbnr/pp1ppppp/2n5/8/3NP3/8/PPP2PPP/RNBQKB1R b KQkq -
Nf6 is an illegal move !?

Morality: Beowulf sucks !

As for Jazz, I don't know the xboard protocal, so I can't really say, but here are the commands sent by cutechess-cli to Jazz 5.01 and caused it to crash:

Did you get any output back from Jazz? From the lines you posted it seems like the process was dead all along. When I try to run Jazz 5.01 on my Ubuntu box, it crashes immediately with an "Illegal instruction" error. This happens with both the 32-bit and 64-bit executable.

Oops, my mistake. Forget about Jazz. I was using the UCI compile in Xboard mode. And the UCI interpreter of Jazz discards UCI-illegal Xboard commands and outputs nothing (which is correct behaviour according to the UCI protocol).

So it's only Beowulf, and the bug is clearly in Beowulf.
