Thanks, gg. :)

Swami, is the Knock out tournament with these engines still planned?
Sure, I'll do it in the weekend but then again I keep procrastinating too often, so don't believe me. or maybe wait for the twist..for me to organize the knock outs. :wink:

I forgot about the conditions, Is it 4 games per round?

That's indeed the best method ;)

I guess 2 games are enough, unless they end in a draw, then you play another 2? A true knock out would be one game per round, in where the highest rated engine gets black and has to show why it's higher rated, if it ends in a draw you'd play another game. But I'm afraid I'm getting too eccentric :lol:

Good idea, Uly.

If it's going to be a 64 engines Knock Out, then I will organize it tonight! Else, I'd keep procrastinating because It's going to be a tedious work of setting up the remaining bottom 64 engines...what with wb2uci adapters and install them in chessbase etc

So Top 64- in KO participants list and 4 Games per round, deal?! (I'd rather prefer more games to show consistency) If 2-2, then more.

Btw, you owe me a small treat, for winning the Prediction contest, Ulysses! :wink: How about this:

I want to report the tiny bug in the avatar logo:

Sometimes, I see the white empty space at the bottom just around the area where the pen is aligned at some angle.

Image

I wanted to get rid of this empty space that has "white colour" (because the rest of the logo is yellow). Is that possible?

Or you could fill up the whole thing with yellow instead?

Other than that, I must say that this avatar is just....near perfect! :D

Thanks!

Cool Engine logo, Ulysses. I noticed it only now, It was blocked at work few hours ago.

In a 17' monitor, I see a "white space" at the bottom.

In a 19' monitor, I don't see it.

White space look like this: (just at the logo bottom, around the area where there is pen that's aligned at some angle)

Code: Select all


Anyway, Deleting the "white space" is not needed. It just happens so and so in small monitors.

Instead can I have this:

Light Blue, Light green background for my same avatar logo?!

Thanks!

I think the monitor size doesn't have to do with it, but whether the browser renders the alpha channel correctly, old versions of Internet explorer ignore the alpha channel, for instance.
