Issue when paired with Aquarium GUI

[supersteve3d]

First of all. Thank you for this amazing engine. I have tried it with Arena GUI and it works great.

My main GUI for accumulated analysis is Aquarium GUI.
It seems that Patricia v3.exe (version 5) and the experimental EAS version do not play nice with Aquarium GUI.

I normally use Aquiarium with Stockfish 17.1 as well as the daily builds. I can only say perhaps Aquarium's UCI strings are perhaps non standard. I hope that we can have a simple patch to also allow for their UCI string parsing.

As you can see from the image below, I suspect the culprit is the following... In the GUI when I click for an alternative move, Aquarium sends a list of all legal moves sans the already analyzed moves to find the next best candidate. It uses the searchmoves syntax below. Is this legal for Patricia?

go infinite searchmoves a2a3 a2a4 etc. Does Patricia allow for this?

In my testing with Patricia, it seems it does not complain but it seems to ignore searchmoves (list of moves) as the list of legal moves to search, whereas Stockfish is ok.

Patricia does not support searchmoves and indeed I didn't even know it was a UCI protocol until now. Using MultiPV mode would be best, alternatively you could run two separate searches on the positions after a3 and a4.

Understood. Would it be something that you might consider adding to make it work with other UCI rich GUI's like aquarium?
