Stockfish: uci parameters stockfish
Hello,
Changing uci parameters with:
setoption name
does not appear to have any effect. I do not receive any errors, but upon typing uci I still get all the default parameters.
In particular I am trying with
setoption name threads value 6
but I also tried different values and parameters.

As long as you do not receive a No such option: ... error message when typing a setoption name value command, you can assume that Stockfish has received and recorded the change.
It is true that we don't output the current values of options after the uci command, but that is because it is not in the UCI protocol to do so.
You can change line 105 of ucioption.cpp by adding this line before the break :
os << " current " << o.currentValue;
This will make a custom (not UCI compliant) version which allows you to check that the internal values of options change.
