For a tourney like this, what is the ettiquite for programs whispering or kibitzing eval information? By default my program will spit out how it thinks it is doing (score, depth, nps) after each move (I usually alias this to a kibitz or a whisper depending on whether I am playing an automated computer or a human). I know that other programs have a similar facility (some also display pv info). It might be interesting for some of the participants to see this information and certainly for the observers to see this information. On the other hand, some participants (particularly ones who are operating manually) may find this screen cluttering information to be rather annoying. Maybe there could be an "eval" channel, where participant programs could send eval information - or would this be too confusing? Another question: My program will be running under Xboard by Tim Mann. Xboard automatically accepts game requests that fit your formula. How do I prevent someone from "matching" my program a few minutes before the tournament game is supposed to start? Do I have to set "open = 0" until the moment before the game begins? - Dan
