I guess that is the problem of network configuration: access/right permissions, setup workgroup... Basically two computers should see each other and can share some resources such as files, folders. If they can’t, you may start solving the problem by trying to ping them first and then Google.

I’m not good at this problem. Perhaps someone with more experience here may help. Update if you found out something.

I solved it quite easily by following this guide https://techwiser.com/how-to-connect-pc ... lan-cable/

To something different. I noticed Armageddon mode. Is this something new or been for a while ?

Some time ago i requested that syzygy "adjudication path" only adjudicate games and does not override "syzygy engine path"

Ideally speaking, syzygy engine path should be for consulting egtb during games. Syzygy adjudication should only terminate games 7-pieces or less.

Last time i talked about this, both path overlaps each other and hoped this could be fixed later on.

Nice to know you have solved the problem. Did you have to re-wired/setup a new network or just re-configured (software settings) it?

It was implemented at version 0.32

That’s not implemented yet. I have been still considering the benefit vs more complex of that feature.

Feature Request:
-Please add the possibility to import chessbase opening books (.ctg) as well as their database (.cbh)
-Please add an auto analysis tool with a graphical Output (Histogramm line) where the centipawn value versus the move number of the game is displayed
(I saw such a feature in the Nibbler and in the Liground GUI)

Thanks in Advance! :D

7 out of 1511 WDL bases did not pass.

All is downloaded from Sesse Website.

How can i recheck those further ?

This one issue is still not resolved.

Suppose I have 5 opening lines (A, B, C, D, and F). Then I will run a tournament with a total of 10 games (swap sides: ticked). This means that 1 opening will be played 2 times.

Now, I want all of the openings to be played but in random order.

So what might happen is:
games 1 & 2 play the opening C
games 3 & 4 play the opening F
games 5 & 6 play the opening A
games 7 & 8 play the opening D
games 9 & 10 play the opening B

In reality, there is no such option at BSG. I've tried these various features (http://prntscr.com/1183lmb), but what happened is, there are always one or more opening lines that are played more than 2 times.

What is expected to happen is like in the example above, but what happens at BSG is something like this:

games 1 & 2 play the opening C
games 3 & 4 play the opening F
games 5 & 6 play the opening F
games 7 & 8 play the opening D
games 9 & 10 play the opening C

There are 2 opening lines that are played more than 2 times, while there are two opening lines (A and B) that are not played at all.

This is not the meaning of random. Random does not mean that it is completely random and has no rules. Random still has rules, that is, "one opening line can only be played more than 2 times if all existing openings have been played".
