Help with CuteChess

Post by JVMerlino »

My apologies if this is a very naive problem, but I'm trying to use CuteChess (not cli) to do a self-play test for the first time. I've tried everything, but the program exits (not crashes or stops, but just quits with no message from Windows) after the first game. I've had no problems with it when I run a full gauntlet for Myrddin against a dozen different opponents with hundreds of games. But just trying to do any kind of self-play just stops after one game. Help?

Thanks!

ways to go:

- Consult cutechess debug window (can be opened in the GUI/menus)
- If the above didn't work, then probably wrap the engine with a script that redirects stdout/stderr to a file too
