I run events in Arena (UCI and Winboard engines) and in Fritz (Chessbase and UCI engines). Some have faults that cause program failures, which I then remove from my computer, although they still appear in the rating list. Is this engine in your tournament?It is not one tournament, but dozens. I recently downloaded the Geko engine, and that is pretty weak and sometimes seems to go for bad plans, which is something I was looking for, The site claims 1600 ELO for that engine, but it seems far, far weaker than that to me. H.G.Wow Wulebgr! That must be quite a set-up you have. Changing other options in the file can smply be done by mentioning the new value in the Additional Options fieldof the Startup dialog. These allow you to edit the list of engines and ICS. (So on the USB stick, if you have WinBoard there.) The only thing you have to remember is that you now have to edit settings.ini rather than winboard.ini.įurther note that the need for editing the ini file externally has been miimized, by providing the "Engine->Install" and "Options->Add ICS" menu items that automatically locate the settings file for you. That way you get rid of the AppData part, and the file will be made in the WinBoard folder. So rather than commenting out the two lines mentioned above, I would recommend to change them to Note that the splitting of the settings file into a never-overwritten part (the 'master settings file') and a part where the settings are saved ('user settings file') does have some advantages: you can specify settings of volatile options in the master without losing them on the next Save Settings, and you can turn persistent options into volatile ones by specifying them in the master file after the specification of the user file. Indeed, this is purely a matter of configuring, not an intrinsic property of 4.5.x itself. I'm still having problems with this one also, so hopefully someone who has gotten fire-1.31 working will let us know.Īt least stockfish and houdini are working. >I have no idea about Fire, since I never downloaded this engine. IMO, the startup dialog should have a choice of (human vs engine, engine vs engine, internet chess server, and view/edit), perhaps in the next version it will be added so that it makes a little more sense (in human vs engine, the 2nd engine choice would be grayed out). What is the proper way to start Winboard, using the startup dialog, or just making a shortcut on the desktop? (dialog seems more flexible). Tried the Winboard Startup Dialog and selected Stockfish for Engine 1 and 2, and clicked ok, and it started working. I believe I have solved the problem with Stockfish and Houdini, I was trying to start them from the Engine Manager, so on a hunch, I
