Search Depth #72

Closed shapiro85 closed 4 years ago

shapiro85 commented 4 years ago

Dear Ferdinand, I hope you're doing well Could you please help me with this issue (it looks like the search depth is not working) this is the command line that I am using to analyze a game from move 14-20 and I want the engine to do it at depth 40

chess-artist.py --infile PGN/game.pgn --outfile Analyzed_game.pgn --enginefile G:\CHESS\Engines\SF\SF.exe --enginename "SF" --engineoptions "Threads value 6, Hash value 8192, MultiPV value 3" --eval search --job analyze --depth 40 --movetime 0 --movestart 14 --moveend 20

I tried the same command line with different depth like --depth 50 ,--depth 60, --depth 100 --etc and without (MultiPV value 3) but no luck. it looks like --depth value has no effect at all

fsmosca commented 4 years ago

--depth is only applicable when analyzing epd and when engine is tested on test epd.

After --help I only get this. --depth DEPTH input analysis depth, (default=0) Will improve the help text messages at some point.

Could you please add depth option when analyzing pgn

fsmosca commented 4 years ago

A lot of code will be broken if I will implement search depth limit in game annotation, as the analysis time in game annotation affects the move annotation symbols !!, !, !?, ?!, ? etc.
