How to use Stockfish in console in a more practical way when you want to play with White or Black from startposition!

In console you need to know the UCI commands/protocol ,you find them here in this link: http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/html/UCIProtocol.html

All nice ,but how to use them? how you start a game  with White or Black..

With uci you get Stockfish's settings... If you don't change anything it uses the default settings, like his skill level = 20 -> is max. playing strength

So like below 1st line in BOLD: setoption name Skill level value 1 (Enter) I bring his strength to lowest level = 1

Any setting in uci you can change like this with setoption name .... value ... (otherwise default settings are used)

If you want to play with white,2nd line: position startpos moves d2d4 (Enter) -> here I play d2d4

3rd line: how much time do I give him to think: go movetime 10 (Enter) (or any time you want)

starts calculating, and gets the answer: bestmove c7c6 (and ponder c2c4, is a move proposal, or move he expects from you)

To play the next move, you must enter all the moves again!!

position startpos moves d2d4 c7c6 c2c4 (Enter) (d2d4 my first move,c7c6 Stockfish move,c2c4 my next move)

give the time again: go movetime 10 (Enter)

and now I get the counter move bestmove d7d5 ..and so on....

Here under Stockfish 14.1 in console when you dubble click stockfish.exe and type the BOLD lines one by one,explained above ,each followed with Enter:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I want to play with black: Open Stockfish.exe in console:

Can first change some default settings like:

setoption name Threads value 2 (want to use 2cores/threads)

setoption name Hash value 128 (want to give 128Mb Hash memory)

setoption name Skill level value 2 (wants to play against level 2)

etc..don't forget Enter after each line!

back to example... Stockfish starts and play with White:

2nd line: position startpos (Enter)

3rd line: go movetime 10 (Enter)

and white(Stockfish) gives you his first move: bestmove d2d4

I want to answer with d7d5 , so: position startpos moves d2d4 d7d5 (Enter)

give the time again: go movetime 10 (Enter)

and SF answer with: bestmove c2c4 ..etc..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What you have to pay attention to is if SF starts as White is without moves!

position startpos

the next move is with moves!

position startpos moves

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you start with white it is always with moves!

position startpos moves

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to use Stockfish in console with a position and play further from there:

You need a FEN code ,a example i take from Arena and setup a position ,copy FEN to clipboard : 3kr3/2p1p3/3p4/1Q6/8/8/3K4/5R2 w - - 0 1

Start Stockfish.exe in console (dubble click stockfish.exe)

first line: position fen 3kr3/2p1p3/3p4/1Q6/8/8/3K4/5R2 w - - 0 1 (Enter)

2nd line: go movetime 2 (Enter)

Stockfish reply with bestmove d2e3

Now i want to reply with e7e5 : position fen 3kr3/2p1p3/3p4/1Q6/8/8/3K4/5R2 w - - 0 1 moves d2e3 e7e5 (Enter)

So you need each time to copy the position fen + moves with all moves!

again go movetime 2 (Enter)

And Stockfish reply with bestmove f1f7 with Mate in 5

In case you want stockfish let play also next move then: position fen 3kr3/2p1p3/3p4/1Q6/8/8/3K4/5R2 w - - 0 1 moves d2e3 e7e5 f1f7 (Enter)

go movetime 2 (Enter)

And give bestmove d8c8 with Mate in -4

Instead of go movetime x , you can also use ,go depth x and go nodes x in Stockfish.

How to detect Time Forfait games into your .pgn database!

Download ProTools 1.6 from Ed Schroder! Thanks for your help!

Link removed

Extract & put it any folder and start prodeo.EXE

Press [F1] and pick [Match Stats] from the menu with the arrow keys, then pick the PGN of your choice. Make sure you have your PGN's stored in the PGN sub-folder.

Ipman.

I get a other tool from Ferdinand Mosca to detect Time Forfait (TF)!

Download tf.zip : https://mega.nz/#!DdhgjQxa!4I9fq2LCsKw-IGiHDDHiUlFDqe8DCO2Jyj0QJ5tN4_8

Extract & put in folder where you keep your .pgn files

Run Command Prompt ..a Dos-window opens..go to the folder where you have put tf.exe

I take as a example a test 33 with 100games ,called Test100games33.pgn

So,in these 100games there where 7 Time Forfaits detected.

For help type: tf.exe --help

To see Time Forfaits in sample.pgn type: tf.exe -i sample.pgn

The file names has to be one piece without spaces like tf.exe -i sample.pgn or tf.exe -i Test100games33.pgn

or when there is space in filename you can enclose it with qoutes.
tf.exe -i "my long games.pgn"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Rename engine names from pgn files into Notepad++

-Open pgn file
-Click on Search->Replace or press Ctrl+H
-Find what: engine x
-Replace with : engine X
-Then click on Replace All
-Save file

Done.

C:\Users\ipman\Laser\src>make clean
rm -f *.o syzygy/*.o laser.exe laser

C:\Users\ipman\Laser\src>

And done..remember rename Laser.exe first,then make clean..

What i do is ,i open laser.exe (dubble click) and copy the inside name..and this name i use to rename Laser.exe file.

How to assemble/compiling asmFish!

Download last source from here: Is removed

Click on View on Github ,then click on Clone or download -> download Zip and you get asmFish-master.zip (extract it to any folder)

Go to folder where you have put all these .asm files where you also see FASM.exe

Open Command Prompt->go to your asmFish folder-> you choose which version you want to make,i take asmFishW_bmi2.asm as example:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\ipman>cd asmfish\asmfish

C:\Users\ipman\asmFish\asmFish>fasm.exe asmfishw_bmi2.asm
flat assembler version 1.71.57 (1048576 kilobytes memory)
5 passes, 0.2 seconds, 114176 bytes.

C:\Users\ipman\asmFish\asmFish>

And done..your engine is created!

Or a very fast way to create them all !!

Here a little .bat file to assemble automatic 6 asmFish/pedantFish compiles !

https://mega.nz/#!yAQwjSgb!TnRhYHYBzDcEhd7pJ0O5m6IopDLNLMVs8cwbkwOad-E

This is the most simple way to make your compiles..just put this asmFish assemble.bat in the same folder where you put the source..then click on the .bat file and you get your compiles..
Because i find it takes more time to type ,then the time needed to assemble asmFish/pedantFish ;)

Very simple tool ,but wins time & no typing needed

Here how i use Ordo: ->last Releases: https://github.com/michiguel/Ordo/releases

I don't run from command prompt..but just right-click on ordo_example.bat that i edit in Notpad++ (any editor is good)

In this bat file you can prepare all what you want to see..you can add switches you want (read manual..it's all there)

I use it for my different lists and systems.. In this example..(you can copy this line if you want to try out)

ordo-win64.exe -a 2953 -A "Houdini 4 Pro x64A SD12 8c" -U "0,1,3,4,6,7,8,9" -W -p i75960x.pgn -o rating.txt -W -s100 -D -E -V -n4 -j "Head to head statistics"

You see this line (a little different) 3 times in my bat file.. i just remove rem (=remark) for the line i want to use..so the other 2 lines will not be used at this time when you have saved first.When i want to use a other line..just put rem before line and remove a other one..and save!

A little explenation:

1) ordo-win64.exe = choose for 64 or 32bit version

2) -a 2953 = start Elo i use with a engine i have in my list

3) -A "Houdini 4 Pro x64A SD12 8c" = the engine i use as standard with the given Elo value. So Elo and engine is your choise ,but be sure to enter the right complete engine name..else you will get error!

4) The switches i use (see manual for explenation) just copy them and see what happen..

5) i75960x.pgn = is my database converted to a pgn database..so change it to your pgn database name! Copy this database to the same folder as Ordo! Important! keep this line the same with all right spaces and symbols..else error you will get. Just change Elo ,engine name and database.pgn name to yours.

6) Don't forget to save your changes!!

7) When done..just click on ordo_example.bat

8) You will see automatic command prompt opens and do his task.. After a few seconds (depending how big is your database) you will see all created .dat files in Ordo folder..check them one by one..

i open them with notepad:

general file = general.dat

rating file = rating.dat

programs file = programs.dat

Head to head statistics

After that i can copy this data info to my website..looks maybe a little complicated ,but one time your ordo .bat file is ready with the switches you want to use..is it just copy pgn database to Ordo folder (with same name) and click on .bat file..Done!
