WinBoard to UCI adapter

[ZirconiumX]

I am plannig on hosting a tournament, but as my tournament program can only host a UCI tournament, and I would like to accept XBoard engines. I therefore need an adapter that can take a XBoard engine, and produce UCI output.

Thank you!

Only for Winboard though..

Nope, won't help as I use OS X.

So why not use a better tournament program? Did you try cutechess-cli?

Indeed, this is what I have been using on OS X to deal with UCI/xboard protocol matches.

Just tried cutechess-cli - gives

Code: Select all

-bash: /Users/matthew/Desktop/cutechess-cli/cutechess-cli: cannot execute binary file

Indicating that it is an Intel binary.

C'est la vie!

So why don't you get the correct binary, or compile it from source?

How old exactly is your Mac? PowerPC is not getting much support these days. Not even Apple supports PowerPC anymore. It should still be possible to compile a PowerPC version of cutechess-cli for OSX 10.4 - 10.6 with Qt SDK 4.6 or 4.7.

It is a g4, roughly 6 or so years old.
