ChessGUI help file: please contribute

[Graham Banks]

Some nice guy has offered to make a help file for ChessGUI.
If the community helps him, he would of course progress faster.
Anybody is herewith invited to document any ChessGUI feature(s) he/she understands and send the text as an attachment to "mgemuh at yahoo.com".

Include "ChessGUI" in message title, so that I can know it's not spam from someone who wants to enlarge some part of my body.

Don't fail to mention bugs. I will forward all the mails to the guy.
You may also formulate stuff in Q&A format.

Who the guy is ? Definitely not me. The finished help file shall reveal his identity .

Though I highly appreciate your contributions, please don't expect me to reply each mail.

Thanks a lot,
Matthias.

If that guy contacts me and shows me what he has so far, I'll be happy to help him.

Hi Graham,
you are the first to offer help.
We will see how it goes without me as mediator
Best,
Matthias.

If you could implement that, it would be great.

Hi Graham,

Matthias.

So that in say a round robin involving 4 engines and 2 cycles, the draw would look something like this:

1v3
4v2

2v3
4v1

1v2
3v4

3v1
2v4

3v2
1v4

2v1
4v3

Okay - works now in round robin type 2.
What are types 1 and 3?

Graham.

[Matthias Gemuh]

Okay - works now in round robin type 2.
What are types 1 and 3?

Graham.

Type 1 as it has been in past ChessGUI versions.

Type 3 (still unreleased) is as in Leo's Premier League
- when 2 engines meet, they immediately play through all cycles

Matthias

Thanks Matthias.

Check your emails. I've sent you two updated versions of the help file.
I'll see if I can add more to it when I can interrupt my tournament to further explore the GUI.

Regards, Graham.

Hi Graham,
don't explore Caparandom. I broke something there and will fix it before releasing ChessGUI 0.112 officially.
I will read your contribution to the help file, correct any misunderstanding of ChessGUI functionality, and then forward it.
Thanks,
Matthias.
