Be there about 15 min in advance, so we can start in time. And please try to play a few test quickies during those 15 min, so that we can be sure every engine will start playing without a hitch.

winboard -ics -icshost 80.100.28.169 -icshelper timeseal -zp -fcp ENGINE.exe -fd ENGINEFOLDER -autoKibitz

should do it for WinBoard engines; add an extra -fUCI for UCI engines.

It would be great if you could use the WinBoard development version that comes with the installer at http://hgm.nubati.net/WinBoard-ICS.exe , (a small install targeting ICS users), so it can get thoroughly tested before it will be released as WinBoard 4.5.0.

I will be there with my new engine. (Which currently barely beats micro-Max, so don't let it deter you!) :lol:
It easy to connect with Arena on your server. it works fine. Now i play game and all is good.

Send me a PM with your e-mail address, and the desired handle. (Which must be the name of the engine if it is to be a computer account).

Untrue. If you can get kibitzing to work through Arena to an ICS, then that may be impressive. Currently, I know nobody that has been successful at making that work.

If you mean just connect without kibitzing, yea that is easy. However, most tournaments require kibitzing.
