Big thank you to everyone in TCEC chat for helping me out with both chess specifics as well as general programming!
weiss supports the following:
-
The size of the hash table in MB.
-
Path to syzygy tablebase files.
Note: weiss will print a string indicating it supports Ponder, this is done to make cutechess GUI show pondermove accuracy. weiss does not actually support this option.
