Cute Chess - Tournament Settings

Post by Hamster »

Cute Chess has often been mentioned on this forum and I like the clean interface and the functions. Arena, Aquarium, Banksia also have their strong points but almost everything I need (exception: eval from White's perspective!) Cute Chess has and is somehow simpler but one thing I was not able to figure out. How to get the game order right. I want to play a tournament with 3 engines (a,b,c) and 2 different starting positions (pos1, pos2). Ideally I would like to have the order like this:

Code: Select all

pos1 a-b
pos1 b-a
pos1 a-c
pos1 c-a
pos1 b-c
pos1 c-b
pos2 a-b
pos2 b-a
pos2 a-c
pos2 c-a
pos2 b-c
pos2 c-b
That is 12 games, first a "little tournament" with position 1, then the same pairings with position 2.

But what I get with my settings (screenshot below) is:

Code: Select all

pos1 b-c
pos2 c-b
pos1 a-c
pos2 c-a
pos1 a-b
pos2 b-a
For this example I can still manually rearrange a bit but for a bigger tournament with many opening positions it gets a nightmare to interpret the results, e.g. which opening favours White or Black and so on.
