Go up one level in this thread


Here you go:

xboard -fcp ./engine1 -fd /location/of/engine1 -scp ./engine2 -sd
/location/of/engine2 -sgf output.pgn -mg 100 -size small

THat's what I use.. if you wanted to test multiple engines x>2, then just create
a .sh script with a line like above for each 2 engines pairs.

-sgf output.pgn "save game file, appends games to form a pgn database"
-mg 100 "multiple games 100 of them"
-size small "small window size, optional"

Sincerely,
Joshua Shriver

I also believe if you check Tim Mann's website, somewhere under xboard or misc,
there is a bash script for doing something simliar.. Might be worth checking
out.
