I have difficulties starting the worker. I've made .bat file but it doesn't start properly.

Can i use the same username for fishtest variant?

Is is difficult teaching SF another variant?

I wish Stockfish can play Two Kings variant.

Code: Select all

Were the difficulties only about the credentials or have there been more issues? If you want to try again, please post the error message, then I can maybe help to fix it.

Yesterday, I finally had the time to implement extinction chess, and since I was in the mood of implementing new variants, today I thought why not continue with two kings. The result is this: https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish/pull/431. In offline testing it worked well, so I started a first online test: http://35.161.250.236:6543/tests/view/5 ... 2fc44adb67.

Many thanks for implementing TwoKings. I'll retry again, hopefully this time should work.

Couple of questions:

Which value do you use for non-royal king?

TwoKings as known from ICC (wild9) has some flaws, especially that it's asymmetrical: white has a moderate edge in addition to first move advantage. Symmetrical version tries to fix this.

I am using a more or less arbitrary internal value of 1000 for the king, which is more than a minor piece. It should perhaps be less, but for now I focused on getting the implementation to work, the values can be optimized later.

I had read about the asymmetry and wrote the implementation in a way that the symmetrical variant can relatively easily be added later on. It is basically a one-liner apart from the overhead for adding a new (sub-)variant.

Fabian Fichter: not working.

Is it possible creating fishtest portable?

Does it print a message before closing or have you had any similar issue before with official fishtest? I have not seen this before, so I currently do not have an idea what could be the reason.

I do not know how the fishtest portable was created.

No issue with official fishtest. Only towards variant.
