avo-k / black_numba Goto Github PK

i just discovered your engine, but i can not use it in CuteChess (on Linux) .. this is what i did : python3 ./uci.py but CuteChess can not initialise, its message is "Chess protocol was not started in time" .. however, when i try to do the same in terminal, i can use UCI commands and let the engine play -- at start it shows "compiling.." and this process takes about 100 seconds to complete .. that's why CuteChess fails.

is Black_Numba only a LiChess bot ?

and how does the compilation work ? I know some Python, but i'm not familiar with Numba .. can a binary be compiled once and then run that in CuteChess, much faster ? Or is this "compilation" temporary, only in memory ?

btw. you could update the README to explain how to run the engine : python3 ./uci.py (am i right?)
