About TC tolerance in ChessGUI

[Graham Banks]

I am now testing 1200 engines in ChessGUI with overstep set to 0.
TC is "40 moves in 1 minute, repeating".
430 engines have already played, 3 overstepped and lost, some few games ended normally before move 40.

I guess that Deuterium would be one of them (from experience).

Cyrano 0.4, Butcher 1.58, Comet A95, Xpdnt 060824 lost on time so far.
460 engines have played, so it is 1% that has problems.
A Deuterium (06062304) has reached next session with no problem.

The change has now been made, default value is 0 ms
Version number remains at 0.133 !
The overstep margin can be set even for already running tournaments.

Best,
Matthias.

A bug keeps the overstep margin at unchangeable 0 ms

I am using a fixed but yet unreleased ChessGUI .

Perhaps you could test more efficiently by doing 10 moves / 15 sec?

Good idea. Thanks.

ChessGUI 0.134 is out
- time overstep margin
- double installation of engines perhaps fixed.

This is a minor update.
