Hi,there are two protocols to communicate with chess engines that scid can 
use.The most common one is the "UCI" protocol and is the default when you add e 
new engine.Crafty however use the older "winboard" 
protocol:http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Chess+Engine+Communication+Protocol
To tell scid to use the "winboard" protocol open the "Analysis Engine List", 
select crafty and press the edit button then deselect the "UCI" option (on the 
left of the "configure UCI engine" button).
Bye,Fulvio

Ogg: [Scid-users] Problem in configuring Crafty with Scid




Hi,

When I am trying to use Crafty 23.4 in Ubunut 12.10, I am getting the following 
error and Crafty is not working.



Scid-Engine communication log file
Engine: Crafty
Command: /usr/games/crafty
Date: Sat Nov 16 15:19:47 IST 2013

This file was automatically generated by Scid.
It is rewritten every time an engine is started in Scid.



NOTE  : First line from engine seen; sending it initial commands now.
Scid  : uci
Engine: unable to open book file [./book.bin].
Engine: book is disabled
Engine: unable to open book file [./books.bin].


Engine: Crafty v23.4 (1 cpus)
Engine: White(1): Illegal move: uci


I have put the following in my .bashrc file


export CRAFTY_LOG_PATH=/home/USER/.crafty


export CRAFTY_RC_PATH=/home/USER/.crafty
export CRAFTY_TB_PATH=/home/USER/.crafty
export CRAFTY_BOOK_PATH=/home/USER/.crafty


How do I solve the problem ?

Thanks.
