NAME
tourney-manager - perl interface to run chess engine tourneys
SYNOPSIS
tourney-manager configfiles
DESCRIPTION
tourney-manager helps you to run chess engine tournaments easyly.
Running Tournaments:
1. Create a directory in which the tourneymanager can put all his
temporary files, configuration and results.
2. Then create the configuration files. Look at
/usr/share/doc/tourney-manager/example.conf which is supplied along
with the tourney manager. Copy this to the tourney directory,it is
rather well commented.
More tuning has to be done to specify non standard chess engines. The
example-engine.conf has some standard engines set. The settings have to
be tuned according your system.
Example for an UCI engine:
example-engines.conf:
engine = Glaurung2 bin = /home/username/chess/tourney/glau.sh
glau.sh:
#!/bin/bash /usr/games/polyglot
/home/username/chess/tourney/glaurung.ini
glaurung.ini:
[PolyGlot]
EngineDir = . EngineCommand = /usr/games/glaurung
Log = false LogFile = glaurung.log
Resign = true ResignScore = 600
[Engine]
Hash = 64 OwnBook = false Threads = 1
3. Start the tourney manager tourney-manager The tourney manager uses
an interactive command shell. To start up quickly,the following
sequence of commands should be enough:
create
print
start
Help about commands is available by ’help’ and ’help <command>’.
OPTIONS
This program just takes the configfile as an option.
