A collection of tools for local and distributed tuning of chess engines.
Bayesian optimization <https://github.com/kiudee/bayes-skopt>_.In order to be able to start the tuning, first create a python environment (at least Python 3.7) and install chess-tuning-tools by typing::
pip install chess-tuning-tools
Furthermore, you need to have cutechess-cli <https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess>_
in the path. The tuner will use it to run matches.
To execute the local tuner, simply run::
tune local -c tuning_config.json
Take a look at the usage instructions and the example configurations to
learn how to set up the tuning_config.json file.
