Running tournaments under Winboard GUI

[Anonymous]

Normally at the moment i use GalisWBTM 1.0 and i wonder :

Is it possible or is there any utility where i can (under Winboard GUI) :

In Engine-matches:
-------------------------------
-Autosave the game after each move played
-Save move value/depth/duration
-Adjudicate the game as a loss when is below:-600 centipawns
-Adjudicate as a draw when the move limit is played: 200 moves
-Shutdown computer when the tournament is finished
-User Adjudication
-Show Opening

Thanks,
Sedat

Hi Sedat,
I have modified Winboard to provide a few but not all of the features you are looking for.

Autosave the game after each move played

No (not planned).

-Save move value/depth/duration

Has value and depth, no duration yet.

-Adjudicate the game as a loss when is below: 600 centipawns

Yes, to any value you want.

-Adjudicate as a draw when the move limit is played: 200 moves

Not now, but planned.

-Shutdown computer when the tournament is finished

This should be done by the tournament manager IMO.

-User Adjudication

Yes.

-Show Opening

No, this feature is planned but very low priority.

Hello Alessandro,

Thanks for your replay...

I will be very glad if you send me to sedatchess@yahoo.co.uk
or to give me a download link for your modified Winboard

Happy New Year,

Hello Alessandro,

I'd like to inform you about Galis v1.0 and your latest modified Winboard:
-When the engine-matches are running and after the match the Galis Tourney Manager can't save the pgn of value/depth when the option is on.

Is there a way to fix it ?

Thanks,
Sedat

Hi Sedat,
I don't know much about Galis... is it generating PGN files on its own, or processing those generated by Winboard? If the problem is in Winboard I can probably help it, but I need more information...

Hello Alessandro,

I think Galis is generating and save PGN files on its own
But i can run your modified GUI with Galis just when the option is OFF in Winboard.ini

And here is setting:

;
; WinBoard 4.2.7 Save Settings file
;
; You can edit the values of options that are already set in this file,
; but if you add other options, the next Save Settings will not save them.
; Use a shortcut, an @indirection file, or a .bat file instead.
