Re: cutechess-cli 0.8.0 released
That's what I need the -seeds n .ilari wrote:There's a new "-seeds n" parameter which sets the first n players as seeds in the tournament. The top two seeds can't face each other before the final, top 4 before the semifinals and so on. And if the total number of players in the tournament is not a power of 2, seeded players are prioritized to receive a BYE (ie. go straight to round 2).Ferdy wrote:Thanks for the update.
How the bracket are created in knockout?
How to setup a knockout tour such that the best engines will most likely battle in the latter rounds?
Unseeded players are positioned randomly. By default all players are unseeded.
Spark and Rybka are set as top 2 seeds.

Re: cutechess-cli 0.8.0 released
I use the following option to do it.TimoK wrote:Hi Ilari,
thank you very much for the new release!
I tested it and possibly found a bug: Engines don't switch the sides any more if you set up a tournament with >2 participants.
Example 1: cutechess-cli.exe -tournament gauntlet -engine conf="Komodo" -engine conf="Gull" -engine conf="Stockfish" -each tc=5+0.05 -rounds 10
This command leads to Komodo only playing white in all games against both opponents.
Example 2: cutechess-cli.exe -tournament gauntlet -engine conf="Komodo" -engine conf="Gull" -each tc=5+0.05 -rounds 10
There are only 2 participants left - now everything works like it should: Sides are switched after each game, so Komodo plays 5 games with white and 5 games with black.
This error didn't appear in version 0.7.3 which was the last version I tested.
Best regards
Timo

Thanks for the report, bug confirmed. I'll fix this ASAP, but for now you can work around the problem by using the -games parameter:TimoK wrote:Hi Ilari,

Cutechess-cli doesn't support it explicitly, but you can certainly run your engines on a remote host via ssh if you wish: https://blog.chendry.org/2016/04/05/com ... s-cli.htmlNordlandia wrote:Two computers connected so it avoids shared resources on ponder.ilari wrote:Can you please rephrase your question?

That's unfortunate. Did it provide any explanation for flagging cutechess-cli?SzG wrote:Symantec Endpoint Protection put it into quarantine.
