It's only a fraction of a second, and it looks almost instantaneous. I think that Stockfish is just so fast and powerful that it doesn't take very long to search 15 plies deep. I just tried setting Stockfish set to a depth of 15. Ya know, I think I might have the answer. Maybe lkmk16 will have a better answer, but that's not right - The engines shouldn't be moving instantly if you have the ply level set to high values. Right now, the default of 3 ply is too weak, according to all my testing.Īnd how do I get the engines not to move instantly? In spite of increasing the depth, they still move instantly. Regarding setting the Depth, I still don't see how to remove the depth option?Īnyway, all the engines there are great with their varying levels.my suggestion is to set their default settings so that they perform according to their stated Elos. And I do like Lucas Chess, I think I will be using it more from now on. Is there something I'm not understanding about these settings? I even tried the same thing with McBrain 2.1a (1200 elo), and I swear, it still seemed to be running at full strength. (The time control for the game was 6/2.) After doing this, the engine appears to be running at full strength. I set the depth to "-", and I left the time as "0.0". I selected an "Engine with fixed elo", specifically McBrain 2.1a (elo 2100). However, I'm still trying to figure out this issue. I don't think it's necessary any more, perhaps they are more interesting those that have a minor elo, for the majority of the users of the program.Īnd thank you for your interest in the program. In the next version 11, there will be 33 engines with an elo greater than 2500, and 9 with an elo greater than 3000. To play against a 2100, it is preferable to remove the depth option (- as indicated by EscherehcsE), and play for time (there is a tab to indicate it).Īnd the biggest problem with engines is finding out with less than 2000 of it and running properly, almost all engines have an elo superior to 2100, of course it is playing without limitations. There are two limitations, and only the most restrictive has effect. When depth 3 is set, another limitation is added, the engine is instructed to analyze only to depth 3 in each movement. Lucas Chess only sends the command setoption name UCIElo value 2100 to the engine. Engines with 2100 of fixed elo have a handicap set by the author of the engine, normally the number of positions analyzed per second is limited.
