Starting the tuning client

In order to be able to start the tuning client, first create a python environment with the packages psycopg2 and numpy. Using anaconda this could be done by typing:

conda create -n tuning -c conda-forge numpy psycopg2 pytz click emcee
pip install git+https://github.com/kiudee/bayes-skopt

Furthermore, you need to have cutechess-cli in the path. The tuning client will use it to run matches.

Then after extracting the current .zip package into the folder chess-tuning-tools, make sure that you have the following directory structure:

chess-tuning-tools/
|---- networks/
|     |---- 58613
|     |---- other networks
|---- openings/
|     |---- ...
|     |---- openings-6ply-1000.pgn
|     |---- ...
|---- tune/
|     |---- db_workers/
|     |     |---- __init__.py
|     |     |---- tuning_client.py
|     |     |---- tuning_server.py
|     |     |---- utils.py
|     |---- __init__.py
|     |---- io.py
|---- dbconfig.json
|---- lc0[.exe]
|---- sf[.exe]

Finally, the tuning client can be started as follows:

cd path/to/chess-tuning-tools
conda activate tuning
python -m tune.cli run_client dbconfig.json
