All other applications, including anti-virus and firewall are off during the tournaments (naturally). But that doesnt explain why UCI engines quits, or why should the tournaments manager have such a small limitations, even if did why wasnt it specified? or is it even allowed to choose over the limitation? it's not really fun to start a tournament hunky-dory, in the morning, and return back at night to find out only one game was played, in 3 consecutive days !!! :( I am preparing to write mr. chessbase a 'friendly' e-mail ;) pavs
