Hello, I am going to add here a specific configuration for cutechess-cli with a bath file that contains the tournament data, engines, etc. and that you just have to click and it starts running. Exemple: @echo off REM set openings to use set opening=UHO_2024_8mvs_big_+080_+099 REM set the window tit...

In terms of GUIs, if you want to use concurrency, then I think you just have three choices - CuteChess cli or GUI, or Banksia. Taking into account the conditions of the tournaments, I have already tried with up to 8 participants with cutechess-cli. With the books and suites you have shared, I think...

Thank you!!. It's a great help.

I'm not the best person to advise for books. I hardly ever run standard chess matches. You can use whatever GUI you want. It is personal preference. Use what you are comfortable with. Graham is the only one who uses ChessGUI. I used to but haven't for many years now. Arena is widely used, as is Che...

Yes "Rybka" is 1 thread only. But Deep Rybka does not have a UCI parameter for threads either. The parameter is "Max CPUs". Old engine as you say. But with cutechess cli you must surely be able to specify options for individual engines as well as options common for all. If you u...

Is there a separate config file for each engine ? For example Rybka does not have a "threads" UCI parameter, it uses "Max CPUs". So passing a common parameter of "threads" to Rybka won't do anything. It will run one thread. uci id name Rybka 4.1 4 CPU id author Vasik R...

Script for cutechess-cli in a hypothetical Gauntlet tournament with Rybka4.1 4 cpu (as I have seen in the last update) The book bin, polyglot, 12 depth 120+1 (1024 hash 256x 4cpu or 256hash). I think there is a colleague who uses cutechess-cli, in any case, let's see what you think: @echo off rem :s...

Hi, To my knowledge none of us use cutechess-cli so I don't think we can be too much help with that. Some of us do use CuteChess GUI though. and about the list of HCE engines? Regarding the graphical interface and the command version, the benefits are a lower consumption of resources compared to cu...

I have three hp proliant dl360p gen 8 servers. But unfortunately, this generation comes supplied with double xeon ivy bridge and does not accept avx2 instructions. Only sse, modern, avx. Then looking at the list of ccrl engines and the conditions, my question is what is a reasonable list of HCE engi...

hash memory test A few days ago the question arose, in my case, whether it was better to perform a hash test on each chess engine that participated in a tournament and assign an amount according to the results, that is, each engine a different size. Or, on the contrary, test all the engines partici...
