How to automate 4 runs of Monte-Carlo (AB + NN)

Post by yurikvelo »

For a given position (FEN or PGN) I want to run 4 different engine games and store 4 outcomes (TCEC-style early adjudication is favorable):
1) AB-engine vs itselft (e.g. Stockfish)
2) NN vs itselft (e.g. Lc0)
3) AB engine [as white] vs NN engine
4) AB engine [as black] vs NN engine

Is there any tool to automate this?
In self-play I want one instance playing itself (as in Droidfish)

Another question about Ponder=On
To run engine matches I've used only Arena and Chessbase GUI

With Ponder=On (PermanentBrain in Chessbase) only side-to-start is allowed to compute after game is started.
Opposite side get run command only after first side has made move.
Then it goes fine.

Is this limitation of UCI protocol or only GUI?
