I want to see all the UCI traffic.
Are there easy to follow instructions for a dumb manager type (as opposed to a super-star unix programmer)?

Cutechess-cli is an industry standard tool for playing matches (such as for param tuning). It needs little UNIX mumbo-jumbo, and has a handy option [-debug] that shows UCI messaging.
On a Mac you invoke it with cutechess-cli.sh.
Code:
./cutechess-cli.sh  -each tc=40/5 proto=uci -engine cmd=chess_engines/Spandrel -engine cmd=chess_engines/fruit -debug

This is very interesting; I have an almost identical tool called 'cute' that does pretty much the same thing. The name cute came from 'Chimp UCI Test Environment' when I was developing the ill-fated Chimp engine. My tool even logs UCI engine traffic in much the same way i.e. "<engine ..." and ">engine ...". It's amazing how such similarly named and similarly functioning projects have kept on the same path for so long.

Output from cute can be seen in this post.

If the OP is interested I can supply a Mac binary for cute, however it looks to me like the publically available cutechess-cli will perform much the same functionality and is almost certainly better supported (given it's actually been released) Smile
