Since your path has a space in it you will need to enclose it in quotes so that is is passed as a single parameter. Try enclosing the path using either "" or \" as an escape character.

This time the engines were very close in strength, 5 engines ended with 6 points, and 6 engines with 5.5 points.
Nightmare came out on top, obviously RubiChess and Arasan did somewhat better when we look at the performance rating.
I expected rofChade to win, he did over 120 Mn/s, but in a Swiss tourney you also need a bit of luck.

The dotnet part is already enclosed by " so how should it be?

By the way I tried to run the command in the map where Skipper is located:

But then I get the error 'the library hostpolicy.dll required to run the executable was not found in C:\WinBoard-4.8.0\WinBoard\'

There are a few options:
* copy hostpolicy.dll to that net6.0 directory
* add a path setting the location of hostpolicy.dll
* link statically

The dotnet parameter is, but the path being passed to the dotnet command is not enclosed. Try the following from a windows command prompt

winboard -zp -ics -icshost nightmare-chess.nl -icshelper timeseal -fcp 'dotnet "C:\Users\van en belt\source\repos\ChessLibraryCore\SkipperConsoleApp2\bin\Release\net6.0\SkipperConsoleApp2.dll"' -autoKibitz

Yes, I agree. In the past I tried to increase the number of rounds, there is a constant in the mamer source code that allows you to set the max. number of rounds.

The problem is that compiling mamer with a modern version of g++ breaks something in the executable, at first everything looks ok, but after a few rounds the data suddenly becomes scrambled. My guess is that it is a buffer overrun, since I'm not very fond of debugging under Linux with Linux tools I haven't been looking at it anymore.

I also would like to sort the ranking list differently, so maybe I have to look at it again.

All my machines run under Windows, the chess server runs on a Hyper-V virtual machine. I've been thinking about porting the whole chess server including mamer to Windows. At least the socket interface has to be changed, probably there are other things that need to be modified too. My guess is that porting it to Windows will take at least several days, maybe even longer. The fact that it is for just one tourney per month holds me back in doing this.

the various GUI developers might consider adding "online tourney set up" option. One GUI hosts, engines join as clients.

The dotnet part is already enclosed by " so how should it be?

By the way I tried to run the command in the map where Skipper is located:

C:\Users\van en belt\source\repos\ChessLibraryCore\SkipperConsoleApp2\bin\Release\net6.0>C:\WinBoard-4.8.0\WinBoard\winboard -zp -ics -icshost nightmare-chess.nl -icshelper timeseal -fcp "dotnet .\SkipperConsoleApp2.dll" -autoKibitz

But then I get the error 'the library hostpolicy.dll required to run the executable was not found in C:\WinBoard-4.8.0\WinBoard\'
The dotnet parameter is, but the path being passed to the dotnet command is not enclosed. Try the following from a windows command prompt

winboard -zp -ics -icshost nightmare-chess.nl -icshelper timeseal -fcp 'dotnet "C:\Users\van en belt\source\repos\ChessLibraryCore\SkipperConsoleApp2\bin\Release\net6.0\SkipperConsoleApp2.dll"' -autoKibitz
Yes looks like this works. It doesn't give an error anymore. So it was just caused by this mediamarkt employee creating my account with name using spaces.
