I have some problems with the curses version of GNU chess 4.0.
1. I don't have gnuchess.hash. Where can I find it?
2. The thing I want to do is that GNU chess will give me the best move
in a certain position at level 9 or 10. Computer can be black or white.
To do this, I did following:
- startup gnuchess
- type '9' as level
- type 'edit' as move
- type '#' to clear the board
- type in the board position
- type '.' to return to main
- type 'help', I saw that computer was black, but I want computer to be
white
- so, I typed 'white', which should result in the computer playing
white, according to the command glossary
- type 'help' again, I saw that computer still plays 'black'
- type 'black'
- type 'help', now I saw computer was playing white
- question now, how can I start computer playing ;tried to type 'both'
which did not really help, tried after that (start from the beginning
again) to edit the board position
again, so that I can do a move, which will result in my to be
investigated board position, which did result in that computer starts
to play white as I wanted it, but the strange thing I see know is that
time values like 120:00 at black and white sides, which will be count
down. Why 120:00 and not 60:00? The move came after 30 minutes. Too fast?
