Sample command:
./ordo -Q -N 0 -D -a 0 -A "nameofengineusedforzeroElo" -W -n4 -s500 -U "0,1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,6" -p your.pgn
Hi Brian,
sometimes I have the issue, that ordo won't display the ratings, just "*" which looks like it hasn't 100%. Bu the tournament has finished and every game is in the pgnFile. This looks like:

Code: Select all

0   10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90   100 (%)

Thank you, it works great. On MacOSX, too.
