In this sense it was not a "bug" reported. But it seems unpractical. Acutally I'd almost think about a bug in Shredders UCI implementation if it weren't for Shredder whos author actually made the standard. (Why I also asked Stefan what's going on here.) > This can easily be inserted again. Of course. The point is a "how" which I do not see yet, cause as the docs state most of them are fixed valued. Of particular interest are IMHO the "limit strength" options and the ShredderBases (in case they are supported). Currently I'm not clear about the point wether these options just lack in the docs in the section about exceptions or wether limiting the strength and adding support for ShredderBases is essentially done by "normalised" option names. If the latter is the case I think it would be a very nice option for the user to use "limit strength" also for "serious games". One could weaken the engine to the users knowledge so one has a good opponent but also stands a chance. Fritz' "Friend Mode" is of that type, and I admit I happend to like it. Additionally one could measure ones own progress as the limit ELO should slowly go upwards with time. Of course this requires an engine that supports the limit strength feature. Probably not many free engines currently do so, but IMHO it would be a valuable extension if one has an engine at hand. > But I don't understand why you use Polyglot when UCI > engines are natively supported in Scid ? Of course I do not use PolyGlot for scid anymore, just for xboard. And I stumbled across these options while upgrading my "engine collection" as I found that Shredder and Fruit use tons of options and my old approach of copy and paste to get files for PolyGlot seemed no longer a good one. So I wrote a script that parsed the options and while doing this I found that shredderbases are also encoded in UCI_* so I wondered what scid would do with it and it did as I expected from the UCI-Docs: ignore it. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
