On-line blitz tourney November

Post by hgm »

The monthly blitz tourney on my server will be held:

Saturday November 14, 21:00 CET

I suppose that this is 3pm EST in the U.S. (or are you guys still on daylight saving time?)

winboard -ics -icshost 80.100.28.169 -icshelper timeseal -zp -fcp ENGINE.exe -fd ENGINEFOLDER -autoKibitz

should do the trick! See you Saturday!

I won't be able to make it, since it's during the Pan-Ams...

And we will have one major improvement to the ICS: I have the mailer daemon running now. So the "mailstored" command will now mail you the the requested game. 8-)

Not only that: if you choose to receive the stored game in PGN format ("set pgn"), it will have the engine score/depth info in it! (Provided the engines kibitzed it in standard format.) 8-) 8-)

There is one snag: for this to work, you don't only have to be a registered user, but you actually would have to be registered with an e-mail address. For most of the accounts I created so far for the participants to the monthy blitz tourneys, I entered e-mail addres "none". :shock: This because: 1) e-mail did not work anyway; 2) I did not know your e-mail address.

So I guess we have to correct this. If you want to participate next week, please send me your e-mail address by private message, so I can fix all the accounts, and we can use all server functionality!

I hope to play, with Trace this time instead of Zappa.
