[Bug 33852] New: doesn't display engine analysis branches

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33852

Bug #: 33852
           Summary: doesn't display engine analysis branches
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

In Windows, when running the 'kibitzer', the chess engine displays the best
four lines or variations in the bottom window. These variations are not
displayed when running under Wine. This makes the program almost useless.

What chess engine? Is it called 'kibitzer'? Is the program available for free
download?

'Tarrash' is a free gui that allows one to play chess or analyze a chess game
using any of a number of 'engines' (stand-alone programs that do the actual
analyzing). 'kibitzer' is the name of the feature in Tarrash that invokes
whatever engine the user has specified. The bug I described showed up when
using either Houdini 1.5 or Stockfish 2.2, two engines that are available for
free.

Tarrash can be downloaded from http://www.triplehappy.com/ (the screenshot
there shows the analysis variations that are missing under Wine).

Houdini can be downloaded from http://www.houdinichess.com/

wine 1.6-rc3 screenshot

I downloaded Houdini and left it opened, then I installed and opened Tarrash.
Then I selected the "Start Kibitzer" in the menu and the image attached is the
result. Tested in wine 1.6-rc3.

Yes, I get that initial display, too. But when I move a piece, the variations
don't update -- they disappear.

I can't reproduce in wine 1.6-rc3, I can move the pieces and Kibtizer screen
start updating as in windows. What is your wine version? Please update and try
again it it's not 1.6-rc3.

I uninstalled my old version of wine (from the Ubuntu 12.10 repository) and
installed wine 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa4, which was the newest version available
from ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa.

But Tarrasch still isn't showing the variation lines, and when I create a
page-fault by using the 64-bit version of Houdini, the backtrace message tells
me that I'm using wine-1.5.15-7189-g6111f90 -- the same message that I got
before I upgraded. So I'm a bit perplexed.

I have the latest version of Crossover (12.2.1)installed on this machine --
could this be interfering in some way?

Ideally, I'd like to be running Tarrasch in 64-bit mode, so that I can use the
64-bit version of Houdini 1.5

Thanks for your help.

Yes, my mistake. I now have wine-1.6-rc2 running, but the problem with Tarrash
persists.

wine-1.6-rc3 is noted but not yet available at http://www.winehq.org/download
for Ubuntu (via Launchpad). I will keep checking.

I'm starting Tarrasch with the launcher in the main applications menu: Wine -
Programs - Tarrasch - Tarrasch.

As you can see, Houdini 1.5 is running, but no variations are being displayed
in the window.

Interesting, I'm doing the test wrongly then. In my screenshot you can see
Rybka as the Kibtzer software. How do you swtich it to use Houdini?

Well, that is interesting. When I use Rybka, the variations show up. When I use
Houdini or Stockfish (http://stockfishchess.org/download/), the variations
don't show up. All three engines work fine under Windows.

Change engines from the Options menu, Engine, and choose the new engine using
the Browse button.

I can confirm the issue in wine 1.6-rc3 now. Tarrash starts the kibtizer
application but then the opened app hangs using 100% CPU. IMO it's probably
related to how the applications communicate with each other.

--- Comment #13 from William Roberts  2013-06-23 10:45:49 CDT ---
IMO, you're right. It does seem to be a complex interaction between Wine,
Tarrasch, and Houdini, as the Tarrasch-Houdini combination works in Windows,
and Houdini works with other chess GUIs (such as Arena) in Wine. I'm surprised,
as I thought that all UCI engines adhered to a common set of rules for
exchanging data with a chess GUI -- but obviously that's not the case.

The simplest solution is to use Rbyka with Houdini; and I will. Thanks again
for your help. I appreciate your patience and your promptness.

Houdini website is dead. Found another, but it was commercial product...
Is this still an issue?

Resolving abandoned.

The original reporter sent an email to wine-bugs mailing list instead of
commenting on bugzilla saying they don't use this software anymore.
