            perft-function of chess engine is giving self-contradictory output
            Asked 2022-Mar-14 at 16:28

            I am currently developing a chess engine in C++, and I am in the process of debugging my move generator. For this purpose, I wrote a simple perft() function:

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Feb-22 at 01:14

            This is how you would like to debug your move generator using perft.

            1. Given startpos as p1, generate perft(3) for your engine and sf. (you did that)
            2. Now check any move that have different nodes, you pick a2a3. (you did that)
            3. Given startpos + a2a3 as p2, generate perft(2) for your engine and sf. (you partially did this)
            4. Now check any move that have different nodes in step 3. Let's say move x.
            5. Given startpos + a2a3 + x as p3, generate perft(1) for your engine and sf.

            Since that is only perft(1) by this time you will be able to figure out the wrong move or the missing move from your generator. Setup that last position or p3 on the board and see the wrong/missing moves from your engine compared to sf perft(1) result.

            The kcal values seem to be stored as string, which explains the result of sort (values are sorted alphabetically).

            To fix this, use pandas.DataFrame.astype to set the type of the kcal column to a numeric type (eg. int):

            Adding headers to http response for Stockfishjs to work
            Asked 2022-Jan-01 at 20:35

            I am trying to write a html page that includes stockfish.js. (My goal is to create a site where yoy can play certain positions against stockfish.)

            The problem is that stockfish.js uses SharedArrayBuffer, so when i load the html Firefox-console outputs "ReferenceError: SharedArrayBuffer is not defined".

            On the stockfishjs git-page it says that to avoid this problem I need to add "these HTTP headers on the top level response:

            Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp

            Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin

            And the following header on the included files:

            Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp"

            But how do I do that? (I am new to web-developing, and unfamiliar with php. I used py -m server.http to "imitate" a server while i work.)

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Jan-01 at 20:35

            How you add HTTP headers depends on which HTTP server you are using and/or which server-side programming languages / frameworks you are using.

            The simple HTTP server that comes with Python won't support PHP, so adding PHP directives to an file served from it isn't going to do anything except send some junk to the browser.

            This question covers adding headers using Python, but you would probably be better off duplicating whatever your production environment is going to be so you can test your configuration in development before deploying it.

            Creating more than one row in a CSV file/Chess database creation
            Asked 2021-Dec-28 at 18:55

            I am trying to create a database to train a basic machine learning algorithm off of. However, when I run the code, it only creates two rows, but I am trying to create multiple rows, of each individual position in the game, accompanied by a stockfish analysis at the end for the position. The code either seems to be making three moves, then writing the file or overwriting the file for each move. I cannot tell which one it is. To elaborate further, the example below is the output of the code I wrote, where number = 3:

            As pointed out by Camaendir in the comment, you're opening your output file on every iteration of the move. This will open the file "for creating" which overwrites any previous data.

            Also, from looking at your code and what you're trying to do, I see there are two ways to accomplish what you want, and you're trying both at the same time and that's creating other issues.

            Either open the CSV file for writing, and loop over your moves writing as you process the board/moves with writer.writerow(stockfish(board, 10))/100):

            1. open file for writing
            2. create csv.Writer from file
            3. write your header
            4. loop over your moves
              1. process a move/board
              2. write move/board
            5. close file

            Or, process all the moves/board appending to data, then open your CSV file and write data writer.writerows(data):

            1. loop over your moves
              1. process a move/board
              2. append that to data
            2. open file for writing
            3. create csv.Writer from file
            4. write your header
            5. write all rows with data
            6. close the file

            Pyinstaller opens Stockfish in console
            Asked 2021-Dec-14 at 13:07

            I have made a GUI (using PySimpleGUI) where you can play against Stockfish (I used python-chess module). I make an .exe-file using Pyinstaller --noconsole, but when i run it, it opens Stockfish in a console. When I run it form source, in PyCharm, Stockfish runs silently in the background.

            The relevant lines of code are (I guess):

            engine = chess.engine.SimpleEngine.popen_uci(engine_filename, shell = False)

            and, a bit later,

            best_move = engine.play(board, chess.engine.Limit(depth=20)).move

            executable exits early when using io.WriteString
            Asked 2021-Oct-22 at 19:18

            I'm using the io package to work with an executable defined in my PATH. The executable is called "Stockfish" (Chess Engine) and obviously usable via command line tools.

            In order to let the engine search for the best move, you use "go depth n" - the higher the depth - the longer it takes to search. Using my command line tool it searches for about 5 seconds using a depth of 20, and it looks like this:

            go depth 20 info string NNUE evaluation using nn-3475407dc199.nnue enabled info depth 1 seldepth 1 multipv 1 score cp -161 nodes 26 nps 3714 tbhits 0 time 7 pv e7e6 info depth 2 seldepth 2 multipv 1 score cp -161 nodes 51 nps 6375 tbhits 0 time 8 pv e7e6 f1d3 info depth 3 seldepth 3 multipv 1 score cp -161 nodes 79 nps 7900 tbhits 0 time 10 pv e7e6 f1d3 g8f6 info depth 4 seldepth 4 multipv 1 score cp -161 nodes 113 nps 9416 tbhits 0 time 12 pv e7e6 f1d3 g8f6 b1c3 [...] bestmove e7e6 ponder h2h4

            To leverage engines like stockfish - you need to start the process and keep it running.

            You are executing it, passing 2 commands via a Stdin pipe, then closing the pipe. Closing the pipe indicates to the program that you are no longer interested in what the engine has to say.

            To run it - and keep it running - you need something like:
