SYNOPSIS

       scid

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly Shane's Chess Information Database.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux  distribution
       because	the  original  program	does  not  have  a  manual  page.  It  does  have  documentation  in  a README file, which is available as
       /usr/share/doc/scid/README.gz. It also has extensive HTML documentation, which is available at /usr/share/doc/scid/html/Index.html.

       Scid is a chess database application. With it you can browse databases of chess games, edit games and search for games by various criteria.
       Scid uses it own compact and fast database format, but can convert to and from PGN.

       The command 'scid' starts the graphical user interface.

       the Debian GNU/Linux system.

NAME

       tourney-manager - perl interface to run chess engine tourneys

SYNOPSIS

       tourney-manager configfiles

DESCRIPTION

       tourney-manager helps you to run chess engine tournaments easyly.

       Running Tournaments:

       1. Create a directory in which the tourneymanager can put all his temporary files, configuration and results.

       2.  Then  create the configuration files. Look at /usr/share/doc/tourney-manager/example.conf which is supplied along with the tourney man-
       ager. Copy this to the tourney directory,it is rather well commented.

       More tuning has to be done to specify non standard chess engines. The example-engine.conf has some standard engines set. The settings  have
       to be tuned according your system.

       Example for an UCI engine:

       example-engines.conf:

       engine = Glaurung2 bin	  = /home/username/chess/tourney/glau.sh

       glau.sh:

       #!/bin/bash /usr/games/polyglot /home/username/chess/tourney/glaurung.ini

       glaurung.ini:

       [PolyGlot]

       EngineDir = .  EngineCommand = /usr/games/glaurung

       Log = false LogFile = glaurung.log

       Resign = true ResignScore = 600

       [Engine]

       Hash = 64 OwnBook = false Threads = 1

       3.  Start  the  tourney	manager  tourney-manager  The tourney manager uses an interactive command shell. To start up quickly,the following
       sequence of commands should be enough:

	       create
	       print
	       start

	  Help about commands is available by 'help' and 'help <command>'.

OPTIONS

       This program just takes the configfile as an option.
