Hm, actually, I think if I limit the engine to ELO it should be comparable. I.e. setting Rybka to 1600 should be approximately the same as Glaurung @1600. Otherwise it should be "set engine to half it's strength". > - When triggering a new Serious game, you will see various opponents : > Rybka 1600, Rybka 1700, Glaurung 1750... and you directly pick the > opponent from there. Jepp. But they will also all show up for analysis ;) As I'm at it, if one analyses with several engines its sometimes hard to predict which is engine 1 and which is engine 2 if I fire it up by the keyboard. I think (maybe others have another opinion here) it would be easier if I could set one engine as my primary analysis engine and another one as the second engine. > It is more straightforward than an other menu for > global ELO setting. You use directly pre-set engines. I thought more about a check button (Limit Strength) and a slider for the value in the serious game dialogue. Similar to the dialogue you have for tactical games against Phalanx. One could then still set the engines options and set up e.g. a "Rybka 1600" and a "Shredder 1800" etc. but if I also check the "limit strength" button and set it to 1900 I could fire up the Rybka 1600 engine and it would play at 1900. > So a global value is not so mandatory given that, > unfortunately, not many engines have a weakening option > (for Glaurung it is just a work in progress), so there is > no real inflation in engines entries right now. There is no real inflation at the moment, you're right. But as far as I can see this is an option that gets implemented more and more. And it is especially usefull if you have engines that announce ELO 3100. This is definitely not much fun to play them.

I fear I can not be of much help here and have to much on my own ToDo yet. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
