On-line blitz tourney October

I'll have my new creation, Jabba.

It's very weak, so you can stomp it

-keepAlive M, which makes it send a "date" command to the ICS every M minutes

works perfectly, thanks. The machine stayed logged in all night. I set it at 5 mins.

[Richard Allbert]

hmmm...

When I use

Code: Select all

C:\Chess\WinBoardGoldPack\WinBoard\winboard -zp -ics -keepAlive 5 -icshost=chessclub.com -icsport=5000 -icshelper=timestamp -fcp=jabba.exe -fd=C:\Chess\Engines\jabba -icslogon=jabbaicc.ini -zippyGameEnd "say Thanks for playing!!\nseek 3 0\nseek 1 0\nseek 5 0\n" -saveGameFile C:\Chess\WinBoardGoldPack\WinBoard\iccgames\jabbaicc.pgn 

The execution fails, if I take out the "-keepAlive5", it works.

Is there something silly I can't see here?

[Spock]

Have you tried it at the end instead ?

[hgm]

Did you use the 4.4.1 Ray is using? (winboard.zip on my website).

[Richard Allbert]

Thanks!

I was using 4.4.0

Can you run two instances of winboard on the same machine, by invoking the command line again with different parameters, say different engine ?

[hgm]

This should be no problem, as long if you have them save their games on different files (and even then there would only be a problem if two games end exactly at the same moment).

Thanks, this isn't for the tournament but something I may try in the future
