Questions about STS stat

Post by nkg114mc »

Hi, all.

I am trying to use STS stat to make a test for my engine. However, I do not know how to make it work.

In the first time, I use Arena 3.0 to run the "Atomatic Analysis" with STS1.epd. After 1000 seconds, I got the first logfile Analysis.log. Then I use STSStat.exe to open, but the software told me "Invalid file!".

The notice that may I need the report file. So ask Arena to generate Analysis.rep. I use STSStat.exe to open it, and failed again. It also imformed me with "Invalid file!".

The second time, I donwload the old Arena2.0.1, and run the same above for another time. This time STSStat.exe did not say "Invalid file" but a error window which says that " '0': n'est pas une valuer entiere correcte". It seems like French, but I know nothing about French.

Can anyone tell how can I run STSStat.exe to make test score correctly?
I use STS Stat 3.2.

Hi,

in case your engine understands UCI you can give the GUI a try I provide with my engine

www.fam-petzke.de/downloads/ice_full_v02_1092.zip

It is able to sent records from an epd file to an engine and as I use the STS suite myself it is fitted with some logic to parse the comment section in the epd records to also recognize the scores of the 2nd and 3rd best move when existing.

You can watch the progress and get a summary of the score and some statistics. Very simple but useful to me at last.

Thomas...

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your engine. The GUI seems really powerful and professional!

I run your engine with Arena to make the test. However, the STS Stat still not work. I don't think it is the problem of STS Stat or the engine. Maybe there are some mistakes in my way of using them.

Thanks all the same. :)
