QUESTION
I am not sure if I understood it correctly or not, but it seems that there is Stockfish Engines OEX, and even though it is a separately installable APK, it is a library intended to be used by other apps. The description says:
To use these engines, you need a chess application that is compatible with the Open Exchange protocol.
But it does not give any further details. I searched Google for OEX, but I got nothing. I searched for "Open Exchange protocol", but the only search result was something about a mail server. This seems to be the source code of the library app but it has no description either.
So, I wonder
- Is this "Stockfish Engines OEX" something that a third-party applications call and get the result (like a chess move) from?
- If so, how can I use it? For example, how can I start a new game, input a user move and get the AI's chess move?

Answered 2021-Feb-09 at 18:10Do you have the latest updates for "Chess Engines OEX" and "Stockfish Engines OEX"?
... Recommended chess GUIs:
- Chess for All

- Chess PGN Master

In these apps you will find an option "Select engine". Follow the further instructions.
QUESTION
beginner programmer here, trying to make an app that detects blunders and wanting to learn more about the chess.engine library.
I assume that using the analyse function is a discrete, self-contained process that doesn't rely on cache or memory of previous calls from the engine or anything like that.
If this is the case, why do I get multiple different evaluations when calling analyse multiple times in a script:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-17 at 22:52Stockfish is deterministic for single-threaded analysis with node and depth limits, state and options being equal.
The engine state is mostly the hashtable (and potentially loaded Syzygy tablebases). So your second analysis will take advantage of the hashtable of the first run. The third run will reuse hashtable results from the second run and so on.
Usually reusing hashtable results is desirable and improves strength, but there is a way to reset the engine state, clearing the hashtable.
In the UCI protocol this is done by sending the hint:

ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-29 at 12:13The await keyword
, didn't have any effect in your code because the function stockfish.postMessage doesn't return a Promise. postMessage emits an event that will be processed in the next tick. This is why console.log('test3')
was logged after console.log('test2')
. After emitting the event it will return synchronously, logging console.log('test2').
stockfish.onmessage will need to be the control centre of all events. It will need to understand the different messages, and do the appropiate actions. You dont need to put the implemention of the actions in the onmessage. You can create a function and called it from stockfish.onmessage... and then inside the action function you could call to stockfish.postMessage if you need to notify stockfis of a change... and so on.... and on...
QUESTION
Just as a background, I have a Java-based Discord bot deployed on Heroku using the 1 free worker dyno. I need to run a .exe file (stockfish 12 executable), pass input into it and process output from it. I'm using Java RunTime to create this Process but when I try to send input to it with the flush() method the broken pipe error is thrown. I assume Heroku must be closing the input / output stream somehow because this code runs fine locally. Does Heroku have a limit on creating sub processes?
app[worker.1]: chess.player.ai.stockfish.exception.StockfishEngineException: java.io.IOException: Broken pipe app[worker.1]: at chess.player.ai.stockfish.engine.UCIEngine.sendCommand(UCIEngine.java:39) app[worker.1]: at chess.player.ai.stockfish.engine.UCIEngine.passOption(UCIEngine.java:77) app[worker.1]: at chess.player.ai.stockfish.engine.UCIEngine.(UCIEngine.java:23) app[worker.1]: at chess.player.ai.stockfish.engine.Stockfish.(Stockfish.java:13) app[worker.1]: at chess.player.ai.stockfish.StockFishClient.(StockFishClient.java:21) app[worker.1]: at chess.player.ai.stockfish.StockFishClient$Builder.build(StockFishClient.java:80)
EDIT: I tried to simplify the program by hard coding a single command and it still fails to get past the writer.flush() line. Nothing is printed.

stream closes itself. When you run a command, create a new process or this command must block a stream and await an input.
Recommend ProcessBuilder, it is more easily to configure:

Since Stockfish is the highest rated chess engine, and it's known to be quite CPU-effiecient I decided to open its source code and try to understand and see how it works.

I hope you're having a good day :)
Recently I have been making a chess program.
I'm now at the point of making the AI and I'm using Stockfish for testing purposes.
Since I need the computer to have time to evaluate without pausing the pygame game loop, I'm using the threading library.
I'm also using python-chess as my main library for handling the game state and making moves, as well as accessing Stockfish.
Here is my code for threading:

QUESTION
I'm making my own chess GUI and am using python chess and stockfish for it. After freezing it into an executable, every time I call chess.engine.SimpleEngine.popen_uci('location\\of\\stockfish')
, it opens the shell for stockfish and if I close the shell, stockfish stops working. What do I do so that the shell is only running in the background and is not visible to the user?
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-15 at 09:52This is a platform-specific question and I am guessing from 'location\\of\\stockfish'
that Windows is the platform you are interested in.
popen_uci
accepts a ** (extra keywords) parameter and you can use that to pass parameters through to subprocess.Popen()
. Use the passthrough parameter startupinfo
to provide an instance of subprocess.STARTUPINFO
. That in turn can set the win32 flag wShowWindow
to do what you want.
QUESTION
I understand that popen
doesn't allow simultaneous read and write.
To get around this, I created two files, 1.c
for writing, and 2.c
for reading. The files are included below.

I'm trying to understand how Stockfish handles the UCI protocol so I can adapt my engine to use UCI as well.
However I am still a beginner with C++ and the uci.h file uses some coding practices that I have never seen before.
Specifically I don't understand the operator() function. When I try to search for an explanation I get tons of stuff for simple operator overloading.

Install stockfish
You can use stockfish like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
