Is there a standard way of communicating PGN scores when computers are playing?
If not should this group create one?
We should be able to include the following information so as to avoid
repeated questions about how the games were conducted.
1. Home event vs tournament
2. Two computers used vs. single computer
3. Time control
4. Possibly hash size
5. Type of computer used
Most posters do include this info in the headers of the post or as a side
note but I find that information gets lost when only the pgn score is cut,
pasted and saved.
As one idea could this be a start in creating a standard that we can use:
Event " 40/2 Two Computers"
Site "Home or Tournament X"
Date
Round
White "Computer X : P2-400 : 16MB Hash"
Black
Result
ECO
WhiteElo Here we should drop this since so few have an ELO. Perhaps
change this to SSDF Rating but that could get confusing since ratings
are always changing. It might have to look like,
SSDF 2512 : P200 : March,1999
BlackElo
Has this been done for computers or would doing so be too much outside of
the PGN standard ?
