Regarding engine vs engine matches, is there an option in either Xboard or Cutechess-cli in which I could update the save game file at every move made, instead of saving the game data only at the end of each match?
The reason is that, just for fun, I want to broadcast live some test tournaments of my chess engine, using the handy tool pgn4web. XBoard and Cutechess-cli only flushes the game data at the end of each game, and I need the PGN file to be updated at every move.
which flushes athe game to the given file after every move. I guess that should also work for XBoard, although I never tried it. Problem is that it is not in PGN format, though, but in a format understood by my ChessLive! viewer (currently active at http://80.100.28.169/spartan/spartan.html ). This viewer is rather dumb, and cannot understand SAN (which would require keeping track of board information and knowledge of the rules), so it needs long-algebraic. And the format also contains clock time and engine score/depth after every move.

Thanks HGM.
I would like to see such option in Xboard. You could choose saving the game periodically or after each move made, for example.
Is there any other alternative to achieve that?
