CSVN programmer tournaments: Leiden + HGM's server

[Evert]

I do this all the time and I don't even have a family!

Obviously.

Sinterklaas is tremendous fun, and kids grow out of it soon enough. Rest assured that missing a chess tournament in favour of Sinterklaas is entirely my own choice.

Registration for the upcoming Leiden tournament is closed. Participants will be contacted by the TD for any missing subscription details, and of course the similarity test. The news is that we will play the games on DGT boards, so they can be followed live! Please keep an eye on csvn.nl where no doubt a link will be posted when it is all setup. Time control is 60 minutes/game.

[ Moderation: could you please keep programmer tournament announcements in the programmer forum, where the programmers are. ]

It seems that some people have difficulty connecting to port 5000. I believe FICS for this reason is also available at another port (23?). Shall I move the ICS to another port as well? (I don't believe the public ICS software supports multiple ports. When I was still running it from home, I could have my router map multiple ports on the internal port 5000, but now that I am running from a VPS this is no longer possible.)

This might work (run it as root):

Code: Select all

EXT=eth0
PIN=23
HOUT=127.0.01
POUT=5000
/sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $EXT -p tcp --dport $PIN -j DNAT --to $HOUT:$POUT
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $HOUT --dport $POUT -j ACCEPT

this redirects all traffic comming in through eth0 for port 23 to port 5000 on 127.0.0.1 (assuming that the software is also listening on 127.0.0.1)
