1st Mini Shogi Computer Association Championships 2017

In my current tests I use command line, two of them so there are 2 matches going on. All works fine in the viewer with results so far.

I uploaded a new broadcast.exe, which limits the number of retries. I hope this prevents WinBoard would ever block. It might prevent some games to broadcast, however.

Note that it is completely untested, because my modem broke down, and I am now on my neighbor's WiFi, which is out of range from the machine set up to test it.

Testing it minutes ago and here is my log:

* use new broadcaster
* using trn, 1 concurrency, rr tour

* WB crashes after 1st game, Lima - Petit, game 114
* Restarted
* WB crashes after 2nd game, Petit - Lima, game 115
* Restarted
* WB crashes after 3rd game, CrazyWa- Sjaak, game 116

All games have results prepended.

I stop the test.

Next I will test using command line.

Using command line running 1 match only, all works fine, see games 117 to 120, Lima vs ssp.
In game 121 the fifth game, I press the Mode->machine match, WB exited properly, but the result was not prepended.

Sorry I forgot to clean out the game database in time. I suppressed display of games 1-267 in the game list on the HTML page now, by clipping the list after it is fetched.

Thanks it is clearer now.
I got power interruption, so I have to setup again the command line and have to check the unplayed start position of every pairing .

I encountered an error.



In one instance out of six WB is unresponsive.
