Wasp Question/Request

Post by BrendanJNorman »

Will John be releasing a Wasp version with support for multi-variation analysis?

Just wondering because it'd be a very unique "opinion" when analyzing positions to ask a more positional engine his ideas. :wink:

Hi Brendan, Wasp has a "multi-pv" search mode, but I haven't implemented a way to enable it under UCI protocol yet. I plan to do this for the next release. I guess I just need to add a UCI option and then output "info" commands for each next best move at each depth. I'll have to test it out.

Excellent! Thanks for the fast response, John!

I know you're likely a busy man. :)
