Yes, it works with my replay-zone.
The master of disaster solved a problem.



John will be happy I think!

Hi there,

all works well ... looking in process explorer 4 hours.
No time loses after 8,5 hours for one of the 46 engines.

Now the tourney can run 30 days!
Possible that the tourney will need 1-5 days longer (not 100% sure with the new time-control), so the main tourney, the FCP Tourney-2020, will start a bit later.

Note:
End of each round I made a short break for 1-2 hours.
Added the games in a download file, will make an Elo calculation and restart the replay-zone.
Important is to restart the replay zone after each round or to many games are loaded again and again!
With other words, only the games from the current round will directly go in replay-zone.

So I can looking for short draws below 20 moves (will be replayed) and to long games over 300 moves (will be replayed). Shredder GUI abourted games over 300 moves! The reason that I replay such games. Replayed games will be collected in an extra database (same I do for FCP Tourney-2020).

Hi there,

after "lost on time" problems with BobCat I replaced with Quazar 0.4.
Scorpio replaced with Mr Bob 0.9.0 because the performance from Scorpio is under tournament performance.
For Lc0 I changed the settings and games replayed.
Tournament Elo in Shredder GUI changed from 2840 to 2820.

Sorry for all that but I have no interest that a Trouble-Tourney-2021 runs 30 days in live-mode.

Now I hope all works fine and I hope I must not make any other changes.
