xboard and match

[geko]

This command plays a match with 2 rounds:

Code: Select all

xboard -fcp "engine1" -scp "engine2" -loadPositionFile "file.epd" -loadPositionIndex "0" -exit -xexit -size Tiny  -autoSaveGames true -autosave  -coords -saveGameFile "output.pgn" -repeatsToDraw 3 -tc 1:0 -materialDraws false -trivialDraws false -matchGames 2 -inc 0

usually the output has 2 rounds
but in case of error like:

Code: Select all

{Xboard adjudication: Checkmate} 1-0
{Error: first chess program (engine1) exited unexpectedly but bare king} 1/2-1/2

in output file there is only round 1

how could it play round 2 too?

best regards

It seems to be a problem with engine1 which exited.

Use an engine that does not crash after the first round. Or use the extra option -xreuse2, to prevent using the engine for a second game, but start a new one.
