;
; In this file you would find some comment on engines that I have
; tested in Fritz 7 with proposed eng file. I have only tested one
; version of each engine so if you find any problem with other
; versions you could use this as a startpoint.
;
; Comment on some options:
;
; InitTime
; If you use endgame tablebase's the InitTime should be set to
; 15-20 second.
;
; HashCommand
; Most engine would round the value down to nearest supported size
; of hashtable when you set the size in the GUI.
;
; ShowThinkingMove is added to the eng-file proposal where it
; would work. It is not enabled before you remove the ';' in front
; of the line.
;
; RunIdle
; Engines with 'RunIdle=true' should not be used in engine-engine
; matches with 'ponder on' on one cpu machine against native or
; engine without this option set to true.
;
; Logfile is also masked out for all engine, but before you send
; a bugreport you should enable this line and repeat your test
; where the bug was and add the Wb2Uci.log file to the bug-report.
;
; My test for new engines:
; 1. Read readme files, html-pages about the engine.
; 2. Find the edit command.
;    Start the engine in console mode and give the commands
;    -------------------
;    xboard
;    level 0 5 0
;    new
;    setboard k7/p7/8/8/8/8/P7/K7 w - - 0 1
;    go
;    -------------------
;    If the move is not legal in this position try the edit command.
; 3. Look for any method to set the hashsize with reading the documentation
;    and test for it in consolemode (some engines have 'help').
; 4. RunIdle
;    Start the engine from the gui and look with a Process viewer to see
;    if the engines have more than one thread. If this is true, check the
;    search thread if this es set to priority=below normal. If the priority
;    for the searchthread still is 'normal' reread the documentation for
;    any switches to set the thread-priority. If there isn't any build in
;    method for this, set RunIdle=true.
; 5. Find the LevelExtend
;    Run some nunn-matches with timecontrol 1/25+1/15+1/g with deafult
;    setting (Progressive) for LevelExtend.
;    If the engine gets in timetrouble on move 31-35, I try to rerun the
;    match with 'LevelExtend=Strict'. If there still is bad time-management
;    I try 'LevelExtend=Failsafe'.
; 6. Select 'ShowThinkingMove' in the properties-box and look at the log-file
;    to see if this is supported under search.
; 7. See if the engine support opening books.
