adding engines to tournament interface question

Post by Uri Blass »

I have a round robin tournament.

Is there an interface that support adding engines to the tournament?

Banksia gui support even round robin tournament of many participants but I do not see way to add engines.
I can make gauntlet that is exactly the games that I need but I would like not to do it with gauntlet that also mean the pgn is not in the same file.

I can add some engine by making a new tournament(Banksia save the players of the last tournament so I do not need to add them) but in this case the interface play the games that I already used computer time for them again.

ChessGUI. You can add or replace engines.

In WinBoard you can add the gauntlet and let it store the games in the same PGN. First clone the exisiting RR, then add the new engine, copy-paste it to the top of the participants list, change the type to gauntlet and start.

No problem with Arena! Other engines can be added or removed.

Very good option.
