Bug#725083: xboard: sends level command only to 1 engine

2013-10-02 Thread Vincent Legout
Hi,

folkert folk...@vanheusden.com writes:

 invoking:
 xboard -firstChessProgram ./dn.sh -secondChessProgram ./do.sh

 Then starting an engine match between these two with fixed time; each get 5 
 seconds per move.
 Xboard then only sends to the first chess program the level 40 5 0 
 command. This gives a mismatch.

I didn't check the messages sent by XBoard but I just tried with:

 xboard -firstChessProgram gnuchess -secondChessProgram fairymax

And then I launched a new game in two machines mode with 1 second per
move. In this game, each program had 1 second to play and both programs
followed this rule. Thus I'd say they both knew they only had 1 second
per move. Am I missing something ? I'll report the bug upstream if you
confirm the bug.

Thanks,
Vincent

Hi,

Well, I had a chat with upstream as well and I'm not yet certain (after
the chat) if it really should work that way. For consistency and such I
would expect both should get that level-command but I shall investigate
some more.
