On-line engine blitz tourney April

Sure. If it is still logged in when we start. Make sure to use -keepAlive 3 or something like that as extra option, so the server won't log you out.

Same request for my experimental BikJump. If you see it (still) logged in, would you be so kind?

My first goal is to win from Fairy max in two minutes games. Strangely the first game Skipper plays in the morning has much larger winning chances than at the end of the day where it always loses even if I did not change anything. Maybe I should restart my computer before playing games.

Cool. Nemeton will likely play.

Is there an Android app with which I can log in to the winboard.nl server and follow games away from PC?

If you can keep PC turned on, then you can use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Android. It works fine.

Yafi, a nice FICS client, was release here:
https://github.com/mg6maciej/yafi-android

The server ip is hardcoded, but it can be changed here:
https://github.com/mg6maciej/yafi-andro ... ction.java

If anyone has Eclipse and ADK installed he/she may try to compile a version with the winboard.nl address.

Thanks!

Sounds like a plan, maybe for next edition.

(for UCI engines, add -fUCI)

I've never participated in something like this. As such I don't know the details involved. For example, is the above command all that's needed to join, get paired, and play all games? What happens if your network connection dies? Etc.. Is there a good primer out there that explains how tournaments like this work?

Thanks for your patience in dealing with my ignorance on the subject.

Also is it possible to simply watch this event without entering the competition?

Thanks again.

Yes, it was. (But now it is finished.) You can simply log on as guest, under any name you choose that does not belong to someone else.

Thanks for the tournament, and including BikJump!

[Henk]

Maybe it is fun to post the fourteen moves game against Skipper.
