Could you elaborate on what exactly it is that Arena does? Is it that you can see the engine-GUI traffic real time? Wit XBoard you can do that, by setting the debug file to stderr. Then all debug output, which includes all time-stamped engine traffic, appears in the xterm from which you started it.

Of course you could pipe stderr to some filter, to pass only lines that contain 'first' or 'second', to be somewhat more selective.

If you want to see what the UCI traffic, you could can use UCIWB as adapter in stead of Polyglot, as it relays all the raw engine input to the GUI as debug statements, so they appear in the XBoard debug file.


I want to see all the UCI traffic. I did download XBoard and managed to get it running via command line (for some reason changing the config files to get rid of fairymax references did not work, so double clicking the XBoard app would always just generate a no-fairymax error). I have not used unix since grad school (aka for a LONG time) so all the fiddling I was doing trying to get it working was a bit discouraging. I never tried polyglot since after spending an hour getting board installed and working with Arasan I was getting a little depressed about the process. It sounds like UCIWB would be an ideal solution, is there a mac/unix version? Are there easy to follow instructions for a dumb manager type (as opposed to a super-star unix programmer)?

I have a program I wrote for Linux ("Gestor") that keeps record of all traffic (inspired on an adapter HGM wrote for Micromax). I guess it should compile for Mac. If you find it useful, I can send it to you or better yet, release it. I will look it up tonight at home.
