engine tournament

[FrankMesander]

Hi everybody,

hope you feel good.
I plan to run a tournament the 20th august for fun.

It's a while that engines haven't played against each others.

If someone has an update working well, no problem, it will make the business. Just for fun.

I am free now, for a month and no problem to run even 2 tournaments for fun.

Friendly, Sidiki.

Hi Sidiki,

It is better to create a new topic for your tournament. This topic concerns Bert’s tournament engine only.

I have uploaded a test version, and Frank will be the first who will be able to test it.
If it also works on his computer, and most likely some initial bugs, or issues are resolved, I invite others for further testing.
Just drop me a line during the week.....

I have tested the test version of Bert’s HUB tournament server. It is not finished yet, but technically it runs a complete tournament through HUB. It starts the engines, let them play round Robin, and stores the results in a .pdn file. Some cosmetic things are on Bert’s to do list.

It was very easy to add another engine. I made a program that acts as a HUB engine, and converts it to DamExchange (not 100% possible). With this conversion program I was able to add Tornado that itself has no HUB interface, and play a tournament with Tornado and 3 other engines.
