All my chess club members can't run LC0 in the Fritz 16 gui

[123]

Maybe someone can provide a better description in the guide?

Also it doesn't run when using Aquarium 2018.

[Jesse Jordache]

I can.  you have to put all the stuff in the directory of the executable - have you done that?

[Jesse Jordache]

I mean the directory of Fritz16.exe or whatever.

What's the specific problem? I mean, when closely following the setup guide, what happens in the end?
Also note that you can enable InBetween's logging facility, which writes all GUI-to-engine communication into a text file.
To do that, edit Inbetween.ini, and remove the leading ';' from the respective line.
The log might give you a clue about the cause(s) for why it doesn't work.

The guide is outdated.
Since v0.7 no adapter is needed (inBetween, polyglot) for running leela in Fritz.
Just do this:

1) Create a Leela-folder somewhere on your PC in a folder, which is not write protected (normally C:\ProgramFiles\ChessBase\Engines is writeprotected!) - I created it in my documents-folder.
2) download the Windows GPU Leela files here: https://github.com/glinscott/leela-chess/releases
3) Unzip all files in your leela-folder
4) Download the Network-file here (but NOT the first on top of the list (the newest)): http://162.217.248.187/networks
5) unpack the network-file, you get a folder. In it a file. Rename it to weights.txt
6) Copy the weights.txt file in your leela-folder
7) start the lczero.exe -file one time with mouse-double-click. That creates a file called "leelaz_opencl_tuning", which is needed! (If you want to run Leela faster, create a small .bat file with one line in it "lczero.exe -w weights.txt --full-tuner" and start that .bat file with double-click. Than you have to wait around 20-30 minutes, while Leela tries around 5000 GPU-configurations in order to find the fastest.
8) Start Fritz and create UCI-engine with lczero.exe. It is recommended, to set the number of Threads to the number of CPUs of your system, that makes Leela a little bit faster, although she uses the GPU for main calculations. (Thread is 2 by default)

Done.

Thanks for this but why " NOT the first on top of the list (the newest))"

[Stefan Pohl]

Latest Network is still learning (=under construction), and some people reported problems, using latest network in Fritz.

You can try the latest network, of course, but in my manual, I wanted to be on the safe side...

[Jesse Jordache]

The first *complete* network, in other words.

Hello Chiefman, and 

thank you very much for your help, ... but when you say create a: .bat file and run it, where in the installation? in the engine folder inside Fitz? or in another folder?

 

[Stefan Pohl]

In your Leela-folder, of course. Where lczero.exe is.

1-Download the network....aand renam weights.txt

2-copy in folder of leela ......iam use cpu folder....

3-dable clec to lczero.exe....

4-open fritz or iny gui..and creat uci engin ...open lc zero.exe..ho make bable clic...
