No idea. Sorry.

Hi Graham! Now theres 0.97.1 and with windows binaries.
Anybody know how to configure as WINBOARD engine?
Are there some xxx.ini file for to adjust parameters like EGTBpath, Hash, etc?
Some winboard experts here?
Thanks in advance

It doesn't seem to support any sort of ini files. You can specify a book file in the command line, with the command line format:

SpaceDog_TBs.exe BookName book.bin

It has support for the Winboard memory command to set the hash size. Winboard and Arena both support this, and I think ChessGUI does as well, but I am not that familiar with that program. It does have support for the egtpath command, which is natively supported by Winboard and other GUIs. Which GUI are you using? If I knew that, I could give you more specific advice.

It can also run as a UCI engine, if that makes it easier for you.

Hi!
Im using old winboard because i hate this UCI bullshit. Im only interested with winboard engines.
Then, how can i adjust hash size, egtb path and so on?

In Arena, you would go to the Engines->Manage menu.  There is a tab at the top of the configuration screen for Winboard, which has the common settings for all Winboard engines.  Max. memory is where you would set the hash memory amount in megabytes, and Paths to Tablebases -> Others is where you would put the syzygy path.

In the latest version of Winboard, version 4.9.1, you would go to the Engine -> Common Settings menu.  There you can set the hash size, and the path to the syzygy tablebases.  You need to prefix the syzygy path with syzygy:, for example:

syzygy:C:\chess\syzygy

would set the syzygy path to C:\chess\syzygy.  You can also specify other tablebase formats as follows:

syzygy:C:\chess\syzygy,nalimov:C:\chess\nalimov,scorpio:C:\chess\egbb

would set the syzygy path to C:\chess\syzygy
the nalimov path to C:\chess\nalimov
and the scorpio bitbases path to C:\chess\egbb

In older versions of Winboard, these options are in the Options -> Common Engine menu.

As a new user to this forum, (but a long time user on TalkChess who has configured thousands of engines), I can't post download links to Winboard 4.9.1, but those can easily be found with Google.

These are the only two GUIs I have installed at the moment.  If you use a different GUI, let me know and I can try help with that.

Good afternoon. What about ELO of this engine?
