Myracle GUI

[JVMerlino]

I wonder how many of the people who have made multiple requests/demands have actually sent you some money as a thank you for for implementing so many of them, or even for taking all the time to make this terrific tool. I'm guessing few...or none....

I think there is at least one...

If you are referring to yourself, then you are an excellent person! Thank you!

I have a question about the engines in the game. Because I can't find it - or it's not there. I would like one main variant to appear during the game, whilst the others remain hidden. Just like in the picture below. Thank you in advance for the information.

The windows are resizable. Just drag the horizontal bar at the top of that window (just below the "material / fifty / men" text) down so that you only see one line.

this happens if you have a pairing that utilizes more than a possible scheduler budget and tournament cannot continue.
for example you set core budget in concurrency settings to 1 and try to run 1vs1 ponder on or even some of the engines is set up to use 2 or more threads,
ditto for memory. the GUI already tells you where to look

build 72 is up:
- fix: ply limit works in eng-eng matches for polyglot books

as a side, this seems clean to defender for some inexplicable reason https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e2c ... 21765dd535

I was running the tournament when the error occurred, forcing me to reduce the number of engines I had added. The tournament then continued up to the state shown above; I had just added Critter and Monty at that point. However, I don't see what is wrong, and it isn't clear to me exactly where I should be looking.

Which engine is causing problems?

A new found little bug: a Queen counts as 10 in material counting.

well, that's intentional. if you look at "the evaluation of material imbalances" by Larry Kaufman, the queen is worth 9.75 rather than the conventional wisdom that it should be 9, so I put it at 10
