Due to the lack of an easy to use Winboard tournament manager for testing my engine I've created my own. In the hopes that it will be useful to others I've posted a link to the program online:

Hi Pradu !

I can confirm that PSWBTM works and will be the tourmament manager used for OpenWar (starting on July 15th).

Thanks a lot :D

Thanks for this tool that looks very user-friendly.
A small question : Do the configuration options accept relative paths ?

If not, this would be a very nice improvement so as to have the ability to keep it together with the engines on a removable medium such as a memory stick without suffering the problem of changing drive letter when going from a PC to another one.
For me, this is the most significantly lacking feature of most other tournament utilities.

Best regards

Yes it does accept relative paths, but I think it is better to give paths as absolute because the engine export feature deals with the problem of moving engines between drives:

When you use the export option in the engine manager, it exports only engines that are in the directory you put the export file in and all paths are converted to relative paths. When you import again on another computer or drive, the paths are converted from relative to absolute. This way you can move an entire directory of engines easily.

I also keep all my engines in a USB stick. :mrgreen:
