It's all a matter of opinion. Some prefer Winboard, others prefer ChessGUI, others prefer something else.George Bodkin wrote:What is the best Chess Gui to use for Engine to Engine Matches other than Arena. And where Can I download it from??

Re: Chess GUI
This is of course mainly a matter of taste, and most GUIs are very good and offer all basic features you need. I prefer WinBoard because I usually run multiple tourneys in parallel, or play several games of the same tourney concurrently, and the more flexible window layout of WinBoard makes it easier to tile the different windows so that I can watch them all.George Bodkin wrote:What is the best Chess Gui to use for Engine to Engine Matches other than Arena.

WinBoard only supports round-robins, (multi-)gauntlets and Swiss, but that is really all I need.
Download link for the installer:

He did not really say that, did he? You can also read it as "And don't bother to mention Arena, because I am fed up with that!"MooImAFish wrote:Why did you set your standards so low and say arena is the best?
In general, someone thinking Arena is best would have little reason to ask for the download link of another GUI. He would remain silent, happily using Arena, or ask for the Arena download link....
