Steven, is there a way to make all the engines of a tournament use the same book? I'm about to launch a big (>100 engines) tournament to produce a rating list of the engines available for OSX, but some engines have a book and others have none, hence creating an unbalanced situation before the tournament even starts.

No. I really should add it for next release... And I don't have much else lined up, so maybe it'll get done Wink

(At the moment, perhaps use the "Copy engine" feature to make no-book aliases for your existing engines.)


Thanks Steven Smile Actually, now that I tried different things I saw a number of problems with the tournaments in ScidVsMac:

1- the engine choosing system in the tournament windows is not handy at all: if I have more than 20 engines, I can't even start the tournament because the "go" button is scrolled out of the screen (and I run in 2560x1440...). Idea: why not use a list like Arena's ?

2- So I chose to break my tournament into smaller ones whose list would fit into my screen, but after a while the tournament will freeze for no reason (I thought an engine was crashing, but now I think it comes from ScidVsMac because the engine won't even lose on time). So, stability problem, here.

3- When a game has ended it takes often a lot of time (sometimes more than 30s) to start the next game...

So, those points plus a common book for tournaments (with, btw, all white engines starting with the same position during a round, and then their opponent getting the same position against them the round after if we set 2 games against each-others), would be nice Smile

ScidVsPC/Mac is a great achievement, but it's still a bit young I see Smile
