Subject: Tool to capture UCI chess engine exchanges?
|
I want to write a UCI chess engine that plays badly enough for me to
beat it, and then improve it as my game improves (this is mostly for
fun, I know that many already exist). The UCI documentation I've
found on the net is pretty terse, and it would help a lot if I could
read a log of the actual communication between Fritz and a UCI engine
I've already installed. I know they communicate by stdin and stdout,
using readable English words, but I don't know how to capture it --- I
looked at the SysInternals suite and they have monitors for registry
and file access, but as far as I can tell they don't show the actual
strings exchanged, or monitor stdin and stdout.
Does anyone know of a tool, preferably free, that does this? Thanks.

I found the documentation readable enough to implement it.
Just use Arena instead of Fritz, is has a debug window (under Engines)
in which you can see the whole communication, copy it to clipboard and
send your own commands to the engine.

You could try InBetween found on this page http://utilities.sjakk.biz/ .
You can see the communication and/or capture it to a logfile.
