Re: [Scidvspc-users] printing engine evaluations in tournament

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Hmmm - it's a reasonable idea i guess.
After this line

    if {[makeCompMove $current_engine]} {

insert this code in scid.gui or tcl/tools/comp.tcl

      ### Store evaluation
      set comment $analysis(score$current_engine)
      if {$comment > 0} {set comment +$comment}
      sc_pos setComment $comment
     ### Store expired time (in milliseconds) and %eval
      # sc_pos setComment "\[%ms $expired\]\[%eval
$analysis(score$current_engine)\]"

This adds scores which can be inspected via Scid's Score Graph.
Alternatively, use the %eval notation which is more standard.

I will include this code in some way - but probably as a comment only
(so people may enable it if they wish) as we just have too many
options already.

Scid vs PC tournaments are fun, but the slow tcl/tk overhead doesnt make them
a serious contender against the other tournament softwares, so i don't
work too much on this.

Also , the scores are disparate, as every second score is given by the
engine moving, so the graphs can look a little funny (see attached
image - if the mailing list allows the jpg - where Toga doesnt know it
is losing against Critter for a long while).
