.....Hash: 128MB, though it seemed like it varied from engine to engine? A little help?

Engines will vary a little in their hash usage.
Nice tournament.

Right. It's set to 128MB and e.g. Crafty is using 11MB.

Thanks.

You can adjust the hash usage for Crafty in the rc file.


smpnice=1
egtb
tbpath=c:\Tablebases
hash=64M
hashp=32M
cache=32M
ponder off
learn 0
book off

Do I have to do stuff like this for ALL my Winboard engines?

Winboard engines usually have an ini or configuration file of some sort.
However, they're not as much trouble as one might think.

I'm happy to help you out as able, and there are are also plenty of Winboard enthusiasts around who can help.

Of course, an alternative is to use the wb2uci adaptors.

Cheers,
Graham.

Or bother the WB engine authors to implement the protocol in full.
It is implemented in Gaviota and looks like this
http://sites.google.com/site/gaviotache ... figuration

Anyway, editing an ini file, *if* it is well documented, might be easier than a mouse-driven dialog. Neither protocol, UCI or WB had taken into account the possibility to include a help (shown typically when the mouse pauses over an option) in the dialog to document each option. Most are self explanatory but not all of them. If you really _need_ to read a readme file... setting several engines will take you for ever.
