The monthly on-line engine blitz tourney for May will take place on:

Saturday May 8, 2:00 PM EST (Boston time), 20:00 CET (Amsterdam time)

To connect:

winboard -zp -ics -icshost nightmare-chess.nl -icshelper timeseal -fcp ENGINE.exe -fd ENGINEFOLDER -autoKibitz

(for UCI engines, add -fUCI)

People without account can submit a request for an account to admin@nightmare-chess.nl

Our tournament manager will be: Eendje (Lisebeth on ICC)

The format will be 9 rounds Swiss 5/1

Last time there were some attendees with technical problems, hopefully this time it will run smoothly.

Try to finish adjourned games before the tournament starts, under some conditions adjourned games could confuse mamer.

Great. Was waiting for this. Zahak 2.0.0 will be there

[amanjpro]

Congrats to BelFish! And thank you a lot for the organizers.

Zahak managed to win three games!!

[Joost Buijs]

This time everything went smoothly. It's a pity that Chris W. had a problem with his engine, we've been waiting 5 minutes for him to return before Eendje started the tournament. Hopefully he will be there next time.

The fish 'Belfish' is still a little bit too strong and won the tournament. I'm happy that my engine came in second, Nemorino and Ethereal ended third.

Zahak made a lot of progress and scored 3 points. Skipper became 'Hekkensluiter', as usual he entertained us with a lot of Lyrics, thank you Henk!

This time Arasan and HGM's engines were missing.

[amanjpro]

Thank you again Joost. Is it possible to get the pgns for all the games? I'm interested in a few of them

[Joost Buijs]

Thank you again Joost. Is it possible to get the pgns for all the games? I'm interested in a few of them

The server doesn't store them as PGN but in a somewhat different text format. Normally you can get them with the mailstored command, but it seems the email configuration of the server is broken again, I have to look into this.

Later today I will get your games from the server and post them here. It should also be possible to have Winboard store your games locally when playing in a tournament.

[hgm]

The ICS should have a command to mail you the games in PGN format. (An option of mailstored?) I even adapted it to contain the score/depth commands. But of course the mail server should work for that.

Isn't rofchade missing as well?

[Joost Buijs]

The ICS should have a command to mail you the games in PGN format. (An option of mailstored?) I even adapted it to contain the score/depth commands. But of course the mail server should work for that.

It is possible that there is an option to retrieve games in PGN format, however it is not documented and I don't want to go trough the source to find out how to do it. IIRC you never had send-mail working, but maybe I'm mistaken.

the help for mailstored just gives this:

Examples:

mailstored Hawk 65
mailstored Hawk DAV

In the mean time I repaired the send-mail feature, retrieving games with the mailstored command should now be working again.

[Joost Buijs]

Isn't rofchade missing as well?

Yes, and probably there are others missing too. Arasan and HGM have the longest track-record, they were the first that came to my mind.
