Subject: Nunn-like tournament with user-defined starting positions

Author: Roy Eassa

Date: 08:54:03 10/15/03

Is it possible within the Fritz GUI to set up a tournament among multiple chess
engines in which the starting position of each game is a user-defined position
rather than the normal opening position?  (I know they can do Nunn tournaments,
but I think that's somewhat different.)

I'd like to use this as an alternative to the "shootout" feature, wherein any
number of engines can play out a position against *themselves* at increasing ply
depths.  Ideally, I'd like a tournament of (say) 6 top engines to each play out
a chosen position in a double round-robin tournament, at a time control of my
choosing.

I can't figure out how to do this, or even whether or not it's possible.

Any help appreciated!
