Cute chess problem

I am having the following epd set called handicap.epd
Code: Select all
rnbqkb1r/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - id minus Ng8;
r1bqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - id minus Nc6;
rnbqk1nr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - id minus Bf8;
rn1qkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - id minus Bc8;
I run it with:
cutechess-cli -concurrency 4 -tournament gauntlet -engine name=Ethereal_12 cmd=Ethereal_12.exe proto=uci -engine name=SF11 cmd=sf11.exe proto=uci -each restart=on tc=40/15 timemargin=90000 -draw movenumber=160 movecount=3 score=100 -resign movecount=5 score=999 -rounds 4 -pgnout handicp.pgn -openings file=handicap.epd format=epd
I get:
Code: Select all
Started game 1 of 4 (Ethereal_12 vs SF11)
Started game 2 of 4 (SF11 vs Ethereal_12)
Started game 3 of 4 (Ethereal_12 vs SF11)
Started game 4 of 4 (SF11 vs Ethereal_12)
That's not what I want, what I want is that Ethereal has always white.
Is it possible?
I am using version 0.8.2

Yes, it's possible. see ./cutechess-cli --help
-noswap Do not swap sides of paired engines

Be careful with this epd format.
The first one should have been
Code: Select all
rnbqkb1r/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - id "minus Ng8";
If cutechess can handle it then fine.
