How do I set up a tournement with say 20 humans against some programs. It is easy to enter programs but I don't know how to enter human names so the program will recognize them.
Thanks in advance

Re: Arena configuration question
Sorry but all that does is allow me to add another engine and gives no indication on how to input a dozen or so human names. I have to call these programs that I am going to use 'humans' because they will not run under Arena, xboard or winboard. All of their moves will have to be input by hand by me just as if I were playing the machine.

I realize that you were only kidding but I am going to run a tournement with two dozen chess programs that are written in Basic. That means that Arena can not talk to them or visa versa. My problem is getting Arena to recognize that they exist and are in the tournement and that I will have to play them manually to get their moves and then input them into Arena.
The only way I think it can be done is to pretend that they are humans.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.
