Engine match feedback

Post by Eric Wainwright »

Hi Mark,

I'm thrilled that engine matches have been offered in HCE 1.5. I would have gladly paid an upgrade fee for this feature. Here's some feedback for the latest version (v1.5.1):

Engine matches:
1) How do you pause or stop an engine match? The commands seem to be disabled on the Play menu. (I think these commands should also be visible on the toolbar.)
2) The game ECO does not always appear to be saved in the EnginesGames database for some reason.
3) It would be great to be able to enter an Event title for all the games at the start of the match.
4) Why a limit of 100 games per match? I'd like to be able to run long blitz tournaments all night long.

From earlier feedback, I would still like to be able to:
1) Double-click on a game line to bring up the Edit Header dialog.
2) Save the size of the Preferences > Engines > Configure window.

Thanks for a great upgrade! I look forward to many happy hours of engine matches.

Regards,
Eric Wainwright
