Fischer Time controls supported by wb2uci adaptor ?

Postby Tuvoc » 18 Jan 2008, 14:28

Hello happy Winboard people ! I hope the experts here can answer my questions :wink:

I know a time control like 90' + 30sec is supported natively by winboard engines and the Winboard GUI itself, but is it supported when using the wb2uci adaptor ? I don't see why not, has anyone tried ?

I'm also told that winboard engines and/or winboard itself don't support a conventional tournament time control of 40/120 + 20/60 + 30' ?

I don't know about Fischer time controls in wb2uci, but answering the other question, Winboard's engines (and Winboard itself) don't support a conventional tournament time control (like 40/120 + 20/60 + 30').

They support 40/120, 20/60, 30', but not together.

The whole game must be in just one time format, so you can't apply some rule to the first 40 moves and then change it for the next 20 moves... :(

Thanks to you both

I've settled for some matches at 90'+30" since the winboard engines don't support the other tournament time control
