Junior 12.5 assertion failure

[tomgdrums]

I just tried to use the new DJ 12.5 and every time I tried to have it analyze a position it would cause a Microsoft Assertion failure (whatever that is) and I would have to "debug" it to get it to work.

What would cause that, and will there be a fix?

I have deleted 12.5 from my computer until I know more about this issue.

Thanks for your help!

And for some more info it would say that it was a C++ error AND when I would say retry it would then make me wait and THEN DJ 12.5 would work. Except this would happen everytime I started the GUI up again.

And it is no the GUI as every other engine working well.

Thanks again!

And a little more info:

I AM able to use DJ 12.5 in Chessbase premium lite, and in the Shredder 10 GUI. I can't seem to get it to work in the Shredder 12 GUI for whatever reason. I even reinstalled the Shredder 12 GUI and that didn't help. Every time I want to use it in the Shredder 12 GUI I get the assertion failure warning and I need to "retry" and then it stalls and then it works.

I will be honest and say I am confused.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hello,

it seems, there is a ponder bug (see postings under http://forum.computerschach.de/cgi-bin/ ... l?tid=3623).

I even tried reinstalling the Microsoft C++ pack for windows. And DJ 12.5 and the Shredder 12 GUI do no work together as explained above. DJ 12.5 does work in the chessbase 9 and the Shredder 10 GUI.

I re-downloaded Junior 12.5 again and this time a new error occurred in the Shredder 12 GUI:


Error (File checksum %s): db3b0cd36db809022bfa4129dda35750
Error (Running in reduced performance mode):
Engine: Deep Junior 12.5 (Win32) UCI (318 MB)

And then the old error also occurred.

I hope this helps.

I tried the new download on the Hiarcs page and the old error still occurred and the following new error also now occurred:

I don´t know. Maybe Amir see your bug posting.

Try the 64bit engine! I read in the other forum CSS that it works under Chessbase und Shredder GUI now.

I have a 32 bit system so I don't think the 64 bit version would work??

Would it?

[Wolfgang]

no, it wouldn't...

I had the same issue. This error has occurred when I was analysing the following position in MultiThread mode without TBs:

[fen]8/8/5N2/8/8/8/4Kpb1/5Qbk w - - 0 1[/fen]

By the way Junior 12.5 is unable to find winning Ng4 without tablebases (mate in 9)! I guess that's because it evaluates minor vs minor as a draw. Need to be fixed.

New game
8/8/5N2/8/8/8/4Kpb1/5Qbk w - - 0 1
