Ultrafast games

Post by JohnS »

On the Rybka forum it says that ultrafast games were used to test R4 (I'm guessing faster then 1 minute games).
What software allows this?

Actually, it was mostly 1-minute games, and varieties thereof. 1+0, 1+1, 40 in 1 min, and even 40 in 1 min +0.1 sec increment. The reason being that we got new builds on an almost daily basis: bug fixes, etc.

With Winboard or cutechess-cli you can set games at 1'' (whole game) without problems.
