Hi Johan,

to set number of threads, go to : Engines .../Edit Engine ...
Choose the engine, then tabsheet "Eng Options 2".
You don't need to first play a game anymore.

For tournaments,
- first simulate to see if all goes well.
- then set test games ply limit and play bullet test games.
- switch to desired time control and launch tournament.

A help file shall one day exist, I hope.

Regards,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.
