Tried it but unfortunately it crashed.phhnguyen wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 3:28 pm "inclusive players" is used to lock an (or some) engine to matches, including sides. This function can help in your case. To make two engines play again each other which one (engine A) always plays on white side (it is locked to all games and locked to one side), you may edit some fields as below:
For total 20 games ("games per pair") of the round-robin, Banksia will discard 10 games based on the condition in "inclusive players" and play only 10 games. Simply double the number of games you need.Code: Select all
"base" : { "concurrency" : 2, "games per pair" : 20, "ponder" : false, "resumable" : true, "type" : "roundrobin" }, "inclusive players" : { "mode" : true, "players" : [ "engine A" ], "side" : "white" }, "players" : [ "engine A", "engine B" ],
Tip: Sometime I set that number ("games per pair") very large, say 20000 then run it, the tournament may take days to complete. Whenever I want current result, just type from keyboard "status", Banksia will print out that result and I can decide to stop or continue.
To use a PGN opening book:Hope it can help and have funCode: Select all
{ "mode" : true, "path" : "your_path_to_pgn_opening", "type" : "pgn" },
