I will look at it.
I recommend to revisit UCI parameters of engines because since 0.173 they are stored under edited engine name.
Before 0.173 they were stored under internal UCI engine name.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Also, the tournament table seems to be displayed in gauntlet form?

Yes, because a RoundRobin table of say 4 engines and all 50 Noomen positions is already too wide and gets worse as you add more engines.

Okay. Fair enough. Not a bug, that's the main thing. :)

ChessGUI 0.74 won't allow you to edit an engine name and save it. Probably just a minor fix for you hopefully.

Cheers,

Should work in ChessGUI 0.74, but it's not intuitive.
You already checked "Prefer Nickname". Enter new engine name in TabSheet "Eng Options 2" at "editable Nickname.

ChessGUI 0.75 shall be more intuitive.

Thanks Matthias.
If it's easy to implement, it would be good to have the option of either the old tournament table or the new gauntlet style one.
Sorry to keep annoying you.

OK, it shall be:

if more cycles than 8, then gauntlet-style table,
otherwise old style.
