Question for Jim Albett

Post by Amstaff »

Hi Jim, do you have a compile for the Thinker 5D engines for running under Arena? I downloaded the folder from the website and can't seem to get the program to run under Arena.
I greatly appreciate the work you do with the engines and have a number of your compiles.
Thanks in advance,
Gerald

Hi,

Thinker works very well under Arena as a Winboard engine.

Hi Gerald,

Thinker 54D was fine for me with Arena. Could you explain in more detail the problem you are having?
Thinker is a winboard engine so should ideally be set up as a winboard engine in Arena instead of uci+adapter.

Thinker is closed source so no chance of a JA compile I'm afraid. (Unless they ask me one day to compile it)

Jim.
