Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
It would be nice if you could make all the rpi engines kibitz, however. That cannot be so difficult. What ICS client do you use to run them?
Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
I use icsdroneng.
I think I need to use -feedbackCommand kibitz for that. The default of that switch is whisper.

Can't remember if I suggested this already but shall I also run fairymax on an rpi-1 on your server?
If so: please provide an account.
Thanks

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
I use icsdroneng with -feedbackCommand kibitz too with rpiArminius but the only kibitz from Arminius I see in the logfile is "This is Arminius 2017-01-01". Is it necessary to implement kibitz in the engine?flok wrote:I use icsdroneng.

And I also use icsdroneng with Arminius playing on the 5820K with Ubuntu 16.04 and xboard 4.8.0 as a proxy. When I used xboard 4.7.3 directly it crashed against some engines. There is a thead in the winboard forum about this. I'll try 4.8.0 directly soon.
Edit: not winboard but xboard
Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
From the icsdroneng code:
So it looks like that you need to use "tellall". I did not find any other occurences of kibitz in the code.
Code: Select all
} else if (!appData.engineQuiet && !strncmp(line, "tellics ", 8)) {
SendToIcs("%s\n", line + 8);
} else if(!appData.engineQuiet && !strncmp(line,"tellothers ",11)) {
SendToIcs("whisper %s\n",line+11);
} else if(!appData.engineQuiet && !strncmp(line,"tellall ",8)) {
SendToIcs("kibitz %s\n",line+8);
} else if (!appData.engineQuiet && !strncmp(line, "tellicsnoalias ", 15)) {
SendToIcs("$%s\n", line + 15);
} else if (!appData.engineQuiet && (!strncmp(line, "whisp", 5) ||
!strncmp(line, "kibit", 5) ||
!strncmp(line, "say", 3) ||
!strncmp(line, "tell", 4))) {
SendToIcs("%s\n", line);

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
After having played some games Arminius vs. various engines with xboard 4.8.0 I also tried playing Arminius vs. rpiArminius. This worked for some moves but then the game was adjourned. Now I cannot resume the match.
I think it is OK to prevent two engines from the same IP play against each other, but it worked in your test tournament where mamer started such a match.
Will it be possible to use both machines on saturday? Could you please fix the adjourned game if you want to allow both to play on saturday.
Code: Select all
**** rpiArminius has arrived - you can't both be logged in. ****
Disconnected from ics.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
This is strange. In the test tourney last Sunday both participated without problem. I always run 4 engines from the same IP address. (On the same PC even.) Last Sunday I was running seven.Volker Annuss wrote:After having played some games Arminius vs. various engines with xboard 4.8.0 I also tried playing Arminius vs. rpiArminius.

Are you sure you did not accidentally login both under the name rpiArminius? If a registered player logs in while already logged in, the existing login is disconnected.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
Yes, I am sure. I don't remember the password for rpiArminius and that password is not in the scripts on the non rpi Arminius side.hgm wrote:Are you sure you did not accidentally login both under the name rpiArminius?

On the other hand something that made it look like 2 rpiArminius connected might have happened. The message
Code: Select all

Whatever that was, it is gone. I was able to finish the adjourned game now.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney January
Sometimes very strange things happen when running from the same IP.
In the past Bart Goldhoorn often used one of my computers to remotely run his engine on and I remember that on many occasions the players were suddenly switched in the middle of a game and that my engine ended up playing the opponent of Goldbar.
The last 3 tourneys Bart used one of my computers as well and that strange phenomena didn't appear, so I guess the problem is solved or disappeared by itself.
