Re: On-line engine blitz tourney May
Meanwhile I played successfully under Windows/winboard.
I also made some progress under Linux. It was the not working timeseal that prevented to connect. With the self-compiled openseal mentioned by Ronald it worked. But within a test game against rpiArminius the xboard crashed flooding the terminal with
Connection to internet seemed okay so there may be some other problem.
I will continue the Windows/winboard way for now...

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney May
Sounds like timeseal crashed. XBoard connects to the icshelper through a pipe. Timeseal is basically a tellnet terminal that piggybacks time stamps on the transmitted data.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney May
Is the server changed ? I am connected to by this command
Ok I found the new link, but my account is not registered, so I can't shout or whisper.
Could someone fix that ?
Code: Select all
xboard -zp -ics -icshost winboard.nl -fcp "/home/daniel/Scorpio/bin/scorpio.sh" -fd "/home/daniel/Scorpio/bin" -autoKibitz

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney May
For Daniel, I added an account for Scorpio and told you the initial password in the chatbox, I hope you noticed it.
There were a lot of participants this time, and the tourney gets more and more difficult each month. I even saw a few engines surpassing 100 mnps. Two engines had problems and were forfeited by Liesebeth (Eendje) our tournament manager.
LczTinker (LC0 v0.26 on a RTX 2080Ti) took first place. rofChade (I suspect running on 32 cores) is a good runner up.
We're thinking about running the next tourney for 11 rounds, maybe this is objectionable for some people?

Computers are getting faster each time, 11 rounds 4-1 sounds like a good possibility, it won't diminish the level of play.Modern Times wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 11:03 pmAt 4+1 say instead of 5+1 ?Joost Buijs wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 10:46 pm We're thinking about running the next tourney for 11 rounds, maybe this is objectionable for some people?
I will talk about it with Liesebeth, she is boss of course, I'm only supporting the tournament with hardware and by keeping the software alive.

There are many roads that lead to Rome, if you are on Windows the easiest is using Winboard.chrisw wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 9:08 amAre there any completely idiot proof instructions for hooking a UCI program into the system?Joost Buijs wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 7:02 amComputers are getting faster each time, 11 rounds 4-1 sounds like a good possibility, it won't diminish the level of play.Modern Times wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 11:03 pmAt 4+1 say instead of 5+1 ?Joost Buijs wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 10:46 pm We're thinking about running the next tourney for 11 rounds, maybe this is objectionable for some people?

Assuming Winboard 4.8b is installed in C:\Winboard-4.8.0, I usually start Winboard this way:
C:\WinBoard-4.8.0\WinBoard\winboard.exe /ics /icshost nightmare-chess.nl /icshelper timeseal /zp /fcp "polyglot.exe" /fd "C:\Winboard-4.8.0\Winboard\" /autoKibitz /keepAlive 30
You have to add a polyglot.ini, and if you want to avoid entering the account-name and password each time you logon you can add an ics.ini, I assume you are familiar with this.
