There was still a really nasty bug causing crashes in tournaments so I've made a bugfix release for 64-bit Windows and Linux: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... /gui-0.9.4
There's also a bonus feature - support for the "UCI_Variant" UCI option.

Re: Cute Chess 0.9.4 released
Wow,
I'm discovering Cute Chess 0.94 now, and I'm very impressed by your program !
It's very user friendly, and VERY nice !
I'm seriously considering using it for my tournaments.
For now I'm running a little RR 40/5 between Komodo and Stockfish; all seems ok.
I've just a question : will you consider implementing a way to indicate the ELO of an engine, and a result table (like the one in html in Arena ?)
Many thanks for your super GUI !
I'm eager to follow the developments !

Re: Cute Chess 0.9.4 released
When I run Brainfish vs ASMFish, I set up, through the GUI settings, the use of Top8move.pgn.
My question is on Brainfish. I have it set with the Cerebellum_Light.bin in the BookPath (it's part of it's own internal UCI setting).
Will Brainfish use the internal bin book or will the GUI override and force the use of Top8Move.pgn?
EDIT: I found the answer, it will use the internal bin book.
Thanks for all your hard work!

Add verification when stop is pressed to stop the tour.

Re: Cute Chess 0.9.4 released
It would be nice to add an "append" to the create/replace feature of the pgn output.

Re: Cute Chess 0.9.4 released
In fact, it was part of my proposal for a de-facto extension to the UCI standard for variant support by UCI engines. I can dig up the thread with the suggestion later.gbtami wrote: Stockfish has no UCI_Variant option, but several individual UCI_* options.

I think it would be great if it were more widely adopted; perhaps there is a good opportunity for that here.

Re: Cute Chess 0.9.4 released
I don't see "UCI_Variant" in that list of options. "UCI_Variant" should be a combo option and it's not visible to the user - it just tells Cute Chess which variants can be played.Ferdy wrote:Where to find that option?ilari wrote:There's also a bonus feature - support for the "UCI_Variant" UCI option.
