That’s why I asked whether it would be possible to achieve a balanced distribution of White and Black games.
I’m aware that, by the end of the tournament, no engine should have any advantage or disadvantage.
one last time Mark - the distribution is balanced in RR if and only if the number of cycles is even - so in the next
build I will not even allow to start a RR with odd number of cycles
hmm, no. I will do something else - for round robin tournaments, number of cycles will be rounded
to even automatically (in which case the game/round preview will also list number of cycles)
Martin, two minor requests if I may (no problem if you ignore them).
1. I'd welcome the tournament title (event name) to be displayed at the top of the cross table.
2. When setting an engine, an OK and a Cancel button, so that if I change my mind I can revert to previous settings easily.

1) is something I thought about too, certainly doable (EDIT: perhaps at the bottom would be better? - will probably make it optional)
2) not sure what you mean? when setting up an engine or even engine options there already is a cancel button
build 100 is up (nothing special, it's just a number):
- fixes (from hidden build 99): game analysis only considers first multipv now + existing NAGs are stripped
- fix: variations are rendered properly when simple movelist is checked
- fix: change keyboard step size in movelist if simple movelist is checked
- optionally (default on) display event name in crosstable footer
- all cycles are now enforced by the GUI to be even
let's go human engineering
we don't do slop here (except for the pdf manual)
(a reply to Frank here to not pollute Gabor's thread):
To the programmer of Myracle, if he reads the thread, ... sorry my test follow later, the weather is the reason. I am happy, if my ETOC-G is still running and the organization for my chess computer tourney is over.
sure Frank - no problem, take your time. I've noticed you also paused the engine updates since july 7
