You immediately abort the game if both engines agree that the opening was unfair enough?

I'll try it out later Matthias. Could you please give some detail about how this works?

What exactly is unclear ? :roll:

If you pause a running tournament and peep into Unfair_Openings.txt, you will see why openings are accepted or rejected. Scores are in centipawns.
If rejected, the opening moves are recorded.

Sorry - didn't have a chance to open it and read before heading off to work this morning. I'll take a look later. Thanks for your willingness to add new features that will be useful to some people.

Matthias - normally I'd replay a game if both sides evaluated the position as more than 0.70 for every move up till 12 moves out of book.
Is there a way that I can use your "fairness" settings to cover this?

If book is 8 moves deep, Eval Threshold = 70, Opening Moves Limit = 20.

Current ChessGUI misses to consider the first ply after book. Shall be fixed.
