looking for a utility to get cross table from pgn file

[Uri Blass]

I found this but I am not sure how to use it.
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/no ... ble.6.html

I am also not sure if it can handle a cross table of tournament with hundrends of engines.

Scid vs Pc has crosstable functionality.

I just tried it since I was also looking for something like that. I got the following error for the crosstable (which is installed by tourney-manager on ubuntu):

Code: Select all

Can't locate Crosstable.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Crosstable module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/games/crosstable line 27.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/games/crosstable line 27.

After some search it seems that ChessDB has the feature to generate crosstable, but I am not able to compile it. I downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/chessdb/, but ./configure gives the following error:

Code: Select all

You will need to edit it before you can compile ChessDB.

I found the exact errors being discussed on askubuntu, but nothing there resolved my issue.

scid vs pc seems to work.

chesskobra,

it's likely that you're missing a ton of *-dev files to compile chessdb. Ubuntu ships with wayland, so building for X11 would work, but you'd have to switch sessions too I think.

[hgm]

The package http://hgm.nubati.net/ChessLive.zip contains a utility hgtblB.exe which can create a cross table in ascii format from a PGN. I am not sure if there is any maximum to the number of engines, though. The source code is not on my current PC.

I got the file hgtblB.exe but I am not sure how to run it to generate a crosstable from pgn.

Pick one of the SOMU versions over there, put your pgns in the pgn folder, start SOMU and select Cross Table from the menu.

I am not sure what to do. I downloaded somu.7z extracted it.
I got a folder with the name somu that has inside it a pgn folder and some exe files.

copied my pgn to the pgn folder that include also twic.pgn
I see some exe files:
1)sf15.exe
2)pg.exe
3)gameSplit.exe
4)pgn-extract.exe
5)pgn2fen.exe

Not sure what to run to get a cross table.

[hgm]

I got the file hgtblB.exe but I am not sure how to run it to generate a crosstable from pgn.

Ah OK. I had forgotten that too, but figured it out now.

You run it with the .pgn file as argument, e.g.

hgtblB name.pgn

It then creates two files in the same directory as where the PGN file was: names.txt and namex.txt.
The second one contains the cross table. (The other is the ranking.)

chesskobra,

it's likely that you're missing a ton of *-dev files to compile chessdb. Ubuntu ships with wayland, so building for X11 would work, but you'd have to switch sessions too I think.

From the errors it is not clear to me which dev files to install. For example, I already have tcl8.6-dev and tk8.6-dev. In fact I had installed them when I compiled scid vs pc. Anyway, since scid vs pc is working, I will not install ChessDB. Meanwhile I discovered a utility in Norman Pollock's site http://www.nk-qy.info/40h/ under PGN Tools, called resultList. It could be useful to others.

I ran it as

Code: Select all

java resultList test.pgn 

which produced 3 result files in txt format. It is enough for my purpose.
