Winboard level command

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

level 0 2:10 5

Is the above a valid syntax for the level command ?
Can you interprete the command ?

Thanks,
Matthias.

Hi Matthias

As I see it, level 0 2:10 5 is incremental time control.

0 means play the whole game in this time control
2:10 means start the game with 2 minutes 10 seconds on the clock
5 means increase the time by 5 seconds after each players move

Hi Grant,
I agree with your interpretation :D
It is your engine that refuses to play in ChessGUI, claiming that
level 0 2:1 1
is invalid.

(see my email)

Best,
Matthias.
