with icsdroneng-0.28 on Ubuntu x64, connecting to FICS (freechess.org) I am having some issues with game end:
I am running with -resign off because I want the engine to handle resignation, not icsdrone. But if the engine resigns this is apparently not passed to FICS. Instead the engine loses on time and FICS sets the game result based on that. The effect on the game is the same but it is better to have resign work.
Games that were drawn (e.g. by 50 move rule) show up in the engine's game log as having a "*" result. The engine relies on the "result" command being sent to it to signal game end and give the result - apparently it is not getting this.
Command line was as follows:
icsdrone -easyMode off -resign off -limitRematches 4 -owner jdart -handle Arasanx -password ... -icsHost freechess.org -icsPort 5000 -program "/home/jdart/arasan-16.0.0/bin/arasanx -H 12G -c 12 -ics -t" -timeseal /home/jdart/chess/xboard-4.5.2a/timeseal
log file is attached. There is some internal debugging output from Arasan (starts with "#") - you can ignore most of that.
