MCEC anyone?

Good idea!
Alas Mayhem is too strong 3100 Elo and getting stronger.

But I like this classical ( No steroids ) and open ( Steroids, igf-1, all kind of shit ... ) bodybuilding divisions for chess engines

Too strong , yes ...
And not compatible with rules 4 and 5

My engine runs on dotnet. So that is not on Linux OS

Don't worry : winning on time is not allowed I guess , so , no regrets for you

Also found out that my engine is sometimes doing three fold repetiton when in a won position.
That is when it plays against itself of course. For how would it get into a won position.

You should be able to build dotnet for Linux. Ask Lithander for more info

Quick update:

I compiled TCEC's fork for cutechess, now I can have live-pgn... next will try to install pgn4web on my webpage, and a script to sync the pgn with my website host.... and that would be the very first version!

I plan to run a few test tournaments before running the actual tournament, so I know what I am doing

[amanjpro]

You can follow the test run here: http://amanj.me/zatour/

I shamelessly took the webpage from Ed (Rebel), and the fork of Cutechess from TCEC... so yeah.. thank you all...

I still wait for more engines to start a real tournament... c'mon sending an open source engine is not that difficult


I need to re-work the UI maybe... but that is a story for another time.

I just registered Barbarossa. I am interested how the speed on your machine is, as I see big difference on my machines and those which run CCRL, which I can't quite explain.

I'll add it to the gang later today... thank you

Both Loki and Zahak lost games on time in TC (40/1500+2). The loss happened (in both cases) at move 40 as black...
The game that Loki lost was a drawish endgame, the one that Zahak lost was a won endgame.

Therefore, I will not use these complicated time controls, and will be using 25m+2s instead.
And both Niels and I have some bugs to fix. Kudos to Rustic so far, the only survivor
