Hi Miroslav!
These may be big news! Did you use Galis for the match. Or are there other
alternatives?

Hi Omar,
For matches only WB alone is enough. Just enter a flag in the WB
startup dialogue under WB options (I dont have it handy on this
machine right now, thus it might be called similarily).
If you add i.e. "/mg 20" in that option line the selected two
opponents will play 20 games in a row. If want to have the debug
file saved too it should be "/debug /mg 20".
Regards,
Günther

Hello Miroslav,
A good result by SlowChess. You may want to play a longer match though to
really get a feel for the relative strength of the two programs (something in
the 100 games range) since in a short match almost anything can happen.
It also seems that the 7.5 and the 6.5 were switched in the above results.
If you sum the wins and draws in the first line they add up to 6.5 while
the sum of the wins and draws in the second line total 7.5 (likely a cut
and paste problem).
regards,
