main -> Ghost 2 for Linux
Install guide (64-bit version):
- Untar the downloaded archive:
tar xzfv ghost2_x64_linux_v2.0.1.tgz
- The archive contains the following files:
- ghost2/ghost2_x64_linux_v2.0.1:
The engine (which can be executed without
having the other files)
- ghost2/settings.cfg:
Optimized settings (use the command line option
--read_settings settings.cfg)
- ghost2/kp_kp.gbb:
Ghost Bitbases (king+pawn vs king+pawn)
- ghost2/kpp_kp_ram.gbb:
Ghost Bitbases (king+pawn+pawn vs king+pawn
with one pawn ram)
- Ghost 2 works best under
XBoard:
cd ghost2
xboard -fcp "./ghost2_x64_linux_v2.0.1 --xboard --read_settings settings.cfg"
- Always set the
--xboard command line option
(except when using the console mode).
--help will show the help screen.
Tuning guide:
- Always load the optimized settings:
--read_settings settings.cfg
- Increase the transposition table
(e.g.,
--hash trans 1G)
- Check whether the bitbases files (kp_kp.gbb and kpp_kp_ram.gbb)
are in the same directory as the executable
- If you have Nalimov tablebases, load them using the
following command line option:
--tb nalimov 8M /path/to/tablebases
