Dear XBoard-Developers, thank you for awesome work in creating an open-source cross platform chess variant GUI. I tried setting up the UCI-chess variant engine Multi-Variant-Stockfish (https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish) and the neural network engine CrazyAra (https://github.com/QueensGambit/CrazyAra) using the python version in XBoard to play crazyhouse. However, I encountered the following error messages for both of them: "Error: Variant crazyhouse not supported by <engine-name>" although both them actually support the variant. This is the configuration that I chose: Engine->Edit Engine List... "stockfish-x86_64-modern" -fcp "/home/queensgambit/Programs/cz_engines/stockfish/stockfish-x86_64-modern" -fd "/home/queensgambit/Programs/cz_engines/stockfish" -fUCI "CrazyAra-0.5.1" -fcp "/home/queensgambit/anaconda3/bin/python crazyara.py" -fd "/home/queensgambit/Desktop/CrazyAra_0.5.1_RiseV2_mobile" -fn "CrazyAra-0.5.1" -fUCI -variant crazyhouse After I added -firstProtocolVersion 1 to the configuration of CrazyAra, I didn't encounter the error, but CrazyAra exited after the first move. Did I miss a certain setting or could this be a bug in XBoard? More details can also be found at: * https://github.com/QueensGambit/CrazyAra/issues/23 Best regards, Johannes Czech |
