Harm already answered that question on Mon Sep 30, 2024 12:38. That is, it is meaningless to play because you cannot set the most important engine and match parameters. Only the match parameters are set in mm.exe. Engine parameters must be set in the engines itself, nowhere else. And this is easy, ...

I have one more question. After running the mm.exe application during a match, how many cores will the program play with and what hash will it have. mm.exe has nothing to do with the settings of MobyDam or Tornado. As Harm said: start MobyDam with its parameters/settings, start Tornado and make its...

By the way, many programs return "0000" as time in the MOVE message, as it was only meant for informational purposes. It is not essential for playing games. I think the server would like to know how much time the engine spent for calculating the move, when you let the server handle this by it's own...

Of course, it's better to let the protocol handle this. I run a small chess-server which handles this at the protocol level too. I have a few questions and remarks about the DamExchange (DXP) protocol though: When is it going to be used for a server shouldn't there be a way to authenticate a client...

The idea of DamExchange is that every program runs on its own computer. Windows, Linux, mainframe or whatever. Connection with the tournament server is made only once for the entire tournament. The tournament server, as DamExchange Initiator, runs all the games. Exactly, this is the way it should b...

Hi, I hope you all enjoyed watching the games played during the tournament organized by Krzsyztof, as always very interesting and useful! Now to make it easier to run these tournaments I am working on a Python script so that (most) engines can play against each other automatically using PyDraughts ...

No zero, so: 2-7, not 02-07.

Hi Frank,
I have a request. Can you see for yourself if it works?

Yes, it works.

Did you try to export as pdn from Tornado? It will give you the desired result.

Import the pdn file in Tornado and Export it as DOC (*.txt).
That wil give a good result.

You can write it as a PDN file, that writes horizontally.
With Tornado you can also Export the game as a DOC (*.txt) file, that is also horizontally.

I will send you an updated version of Tornado before the tournament.

On behalf of the wife of our recently deceased computer draughts friend Ton Tillemans, we hereby request that Tdking will no longer participate in any draughts tournament.
So Tdking will not participate in the announced tournaments of Krzysztof Grzelak and Sidiki Coulibali.
