Arena or alternative?

[feistyram]

Hi

I have just come back to computer chess after 7 or 8 years really. I used to use Arena to run engine tournaments and I see it still works fine with Windows 11. It's got a bit of a dated look but performs fine.

Is this still what people use or are there now software alternatives?

I use also Arena, both with Linux and Windows.
There is also BanksiaGui, it's interesting, but is unfortunately bugged, and don't seemed always developped.
