Here's the code for calculating a move's weight: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... k.cpp#L111Ferdy wrote:The polyglot book use has no random, so what is the minimum move weight for it to be played?

Do you get this error immediately when trying to start the tournament, or is there delay? And does this happen if you just start a normal Human vs. Komodo 9.x game?pferd wrote:I set up a tournament with about 15 engines and I have trouble with the Komodo 9.x series.
I always get the message
Terminating process of engine komodo-9(1)
and the engine debug output remains empty. With cutechess-cli the engine works just fine.
The free Komodo 8 works just fine...
Can anybody confirm my issue or is it just my computer?
In the following, do the entries weight in foreach() are read in descending order?ilari wrote:Here's the code for calculating a move's weight: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... k.cpp#L111Ferdy wrote:The polyglot book use has no random, so what is the minimum move weight for it to be played?
So drawn games give both players +1 and win gives winner +2. Loser's moves are not saved in the book.
Code: Select all
Chess::GenericMove OpeningBook::move(quint64 key) const
...
// Pick a move randomly, with the highest-weighted move having
// the highest probability of getting picked.
int pick = Mersenne::random() % totalWeight;
int currentWeight = 0;
foreach (const Entry& entry, entries)
{
currentWeight += entry.weight;
if (currentWeight > pick)
return entry.move;
}

The entries are not ordered by weight at all, but that doesn't matter - the highest-weighted move still has the best chance of getting chosen. Ordering the entries differently wouldn't change anything.Ferdy wrote:In the following, do the entries weight in foreach() are read in descending order?

That is very much doable. The most difficult thing about adding features like these is avoiding cluttering the user interface while doing it.Ferdy wrote:In any case, I would like to suggest to allow the user to control the minimum weight percentage that a move will be played, say minWePercent = 8, then play the move if wePercent >= minWePercent. So the moves b3 and e3 will not be played.
Then you can add the maxWePercent. If the user wants the engine not to play the best book move for whatever purpose, he may set it to 30 for example.
So for book moves having wePercent > maxWePercent, that move will not be played. In this case the move e4 will not be played.
