let's see what kind of difference we see in the real world - 5 minute chess with 5 second increment - using the magic 63 opening positions ( hand selected positions from Kai's epd opening file)
I have modify the script (csh) lately to "automate" some of the variables,
Bob's match file takes the time parameter sin centiseconds so I set the base in seconds the script converts it to centiseconds and also automatically uses the base to calculate the increment - I use 1/60 of of the base as the default for the increment:
Code: Select all
set base = 300 ## in seconds
echo "base $base seconds"
@ time = $base * 100
set inc = `echo "scale=2; ($time * 100 / 100) / 60" |bc -lq`
set increment = `echo "scale=2; ($inc * 100 / 100) / 100" |bc -lq`
assign the engines (no change in script), uci engines are called by polyglot, hence the ini file:
Code: Select all
set eng1 = asmfish.ini
set eng2 = SF-McBrain-v31a.ini
set eng3 = komodo-11.2.ini
set eng4 = stockfish.ini
at some point , I may automate this piece, but I haven't so far:
Code: Select all
set opponents1= ( $eng1 $eng2 $eng3 $eng4 )
set opponents2= ( $eng4 $eng3 $eng2 $eng1 )
this code counts the players:
Code: Select all
set players1 = $#opponents1
set players2 = $#opponents2
pick the file and number of positions:
Code: Select all
set file = magic63.epd
@ positions = 63
the script here hasn't changed:
Code: Select all
set time_odds = 1
set games_per_position = 1
set positions_per_match = 1
@ rounds = $positions * 2
echo "using $positions positions from EPD file"
@ gamesPlanned = ( $players1 ) * ( $players2 - 1 ) * $positions * $games_per_position
echo $gamesPlanned "Games Planned"
sleep 2
@ counterStart = ( $gamesPlanned / ( $positions * $games_per_position ) ) * 5 + 12
@ counterIncrement = ( $counterStart - 12 )
cd run
set logid1 = 101
set logid2 = 50101
set logid3 = 10001
set logid4 = 5000101
rm -f commands
@ position = 0 #you can change this to start @ different position in the file
set counter = 0
set gamesStarted = 0
@ gamesPlanned = $gamesPlanned
this is the match driver here - the script creates commands that will then be called sequentially - two programs are called , "match" which keeps the games going and "geteloRR1" - which calls a modified version of Bayeselo and updates the results at regular intervals - "jot" is a very nifty tool and some have called it "seq" on steroids. This is also where the copying to dropbox occurs:
Code: Select all
loop:
@ position = $position + 1 # start at the 1st position ,
foreach player1 (`jot $players1`)
foreach player2 (`jot $players2`)
if ($opponents1[$player1] == $opponents2[$player2] ) goto skip # do not want engines to play themselves
echo "./match "match$position.$player1" $file $position $games_per_position $positions_per_match $time $inc $opponents1[$player1] localhost $logid1 $opponents2[$player2] localhost $logid2 $time_odds" >> commands
@ logid1 = $logid1 + $games_per_position * $positions_per_match
@ logid2 = $logid2 + $games_per_position * $positions_per_match
@ pairings = ( $pairings + $games_per_position )
echo "$pairings"
@ completed = ( $pairings - 11 )
@ gamesStarted = $pairings - $counter
if (( $gamesStarted + 1 ) < $counterStart ) goto skip2
echo "echo " "" >> commands
echo "echo "$completed of $gamesPlanned games completed..."" >> commands
echo "echo "time control: $base+$increment seconds"" >> commands
echo "./geteloRR1" >> commands
echo "echo " ">>~/Dropbox/Shared\ Folder/elota.txt" >> commands
echo "echo "$completed of $gamesPlanned games completed...">>~/Dropbox/Shared\ Folder/elota.txt" >> commands
echo "echo "time control: $base+$increment seconds ">>~/Dropbox/Shared\ Folder/elota.txt" >> commands
echo "./geteloRR2>>~/Dropbox/Shared\ Folder/elota.txt" >> commands
echo "cp pgn /Users/michaelbyrne/Dropbox/Shared\ Folder/all.pgn" >> commands
@ counter = $counter + $counterIncrement
skip2:
skip:
end
end # round is completed with both colors scripted
# echo "rm game.* log.*" >>commands
if ($pairings < $gamesPlanned ) goto loop
there also some wrap-up script once the match is over - that's for another day..
Ina addition there is a another script that is called "watcher" - which simply calls bayeselo periodically , reads the pgn files and summarize the results and copies the results to dropbox so I can easily follow remotely.:
