Replace cutechess-cli by fast-chess in the worker? #2106

added
enhancement
worker update
|
Another advantage I noticed is that it can be cloned and built on worker machine.. instead of dependency on https://github.com/official-stockfish/books . |
|
(see bullet point 2 ;-) ) |
|
fast-chess has an option to be built with cutechess output ( `make -j USE_CUTE' ) so no changes to the output parsing is necessary, though it still needs to be tested. same thing goes for the commands. from what i found this is the only branch with fastchess available https://github.com/Disservin/fishtest/tree/fastchess , although this one is very outdated, maybe theres a newer one that im not aware of that can be shared here? |
No one can guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong. |

fixes official-stockfish#2106 This PR switches from cutechess-cli to fast-chess. cutechess-cli has been serving us well in the past years, however, some issues have accumulated, namely the difficulty of compiling cutechess-cli, the observed timeouts at high concurrency and short TC, and e.g. slowness when indexing larger books. fast-chess https://github.com/Disservin/fast-chess has addressed these issues, and has now probably become mature enough to serve as the game manager for fishtest. As an example of its ability to deal with short TC and high concurrency: https://dfts-0.pigazzini.it/tests/view/669249cdbee8253775cede32 with concurrency 25, and TC 1+0.01s no timeouts are observed. fast-chess is built from sources, with the zip download as well as the binary cached as needed. There is fine-grained control over which version of fast-chess is used, so we can easily upgrade for new features. In this PR, fast-chess is built in cutechess compatibility to facilitate integration, and to benefit from the existing fishtest checks. Once validated, we should be able to switch easily to its native mode, which can output trinomial and pentanomial results, and we should be able significantly simplify the worker's book-keeping.

https://github.com/Disservin/fast-chess is quite actively developed, and probably quite close to being feature complete.
