Although if you have to add this as separate version, you an probably just skip it, because I think v3.1 might be out soon![]()
Thank you!

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
There's gotta be a running joke that you only find bugs after you make a major release, and here it is ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
This patch fixes a bug where the engine would crash if the Hash size was set to 0 MB

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
In ChessGUI, your engine will run, but doesn't send its thinking line and eval to the GUI.

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
Yeah it's UCI interface is currently very minimal, I'll implement that real quickGraham Banks wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 6:42 am In ChessGUI, your engine will run, but doesn't send its thinking line and eval to the GUI.

Although I can't actually show the full PV line right now, as it's not being collected in Maxwell (I tried to implemented a Triangular PV-Table a couple versions ago, but it slowed down the engine dramatically so I cut it; I'll try again soon
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Are there any other UCI commands you'd like implemented?

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
Maxwell now displays the depth and evaluation, but not its main thinking line.

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
Maxwell currently doesn't collect the PV line, because the old PV-table implementation I had in development slowed down the engine alot, so I had to cut it and just print out the current best move instead.Graham Banks wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 7:02 pm Maxwell now displays the depth and evaluation, but not its main thinking line.
I'll work on it

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
Thank you so much!
Collecting the PV line was much much simpler than I thought, I went with the easier method of recursively walking through the transposition table
Here's the new patch: https://github.com/eboatwright/Maxwell/ ... tag/v3.1-3

Re: Maxwell Chess Engine
Hello CCRL, just wanted to post a little update to say Maxwell is still in development!
I've been working on an NNUE implementation, and training an NNUE is proving to be even more difficult than I expected![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
Also if anybody's curious, the network architecture I'm working on now is: 768->128->1x8 which isn't big by any means, but it should be more than enough to be stronger than Maxwell's current HCE![Thumbs Up :thumbsup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbsup.png)
