# TinyChessTest

A program for tournament setup for elo testing the

[TinyChess](https://github.com/Bobingstern/TinyChess) engine.

## Install

1. Have Python, MinGW, Make, CMake, and cutechess-cli installed and in PATH.

   (tested only on Python 3.11)

2. Clone this repo.

3. Create virtual environment if desired.

4. Install requirements in [`requirements.txt`](requirements.txt).

## Run

Run [`src/main.py`](src/main.py).

Example command to test

[`5747a4eb4c0834b72ad39381c0f2074a1601d52e`](https://github.com/Bobingstern/TinyChess/commit/5747a4eb4c0834b72ad39381c0f2074a1601d52e)

against the main branch.

```commandline

python src/main.py --engine-1-commit 5747a4eb4c0834b72ad39381c0f2074a1601d52e --engine-2-commit main

```

Example command to test

[`5747a4eb4c0834b72ad39381c0f2074a1601d52e`](https://github.com/Bobingstern/TinyChess/commit/5747a4eb4c0834b72ad39381c0f2074a1601d52e)

against the main branch with a time control of 5+0.01 and 1000 games with

concurrency of 5 and save FENs to `output.fens`.

```commandline

python src/main.py --engine-1-commit 5747a4eb4c0834b72ad39381c0f2074a1601d52e --engine-2-commit main --concurrency 5 --time-control 5+0.01 --games 1000 --save-fens output.fens

```

### Help

```commandline

usage: TinyChessTest [-h] --engine-1-commit COMMIT --engine-2-commit COMMIT

                     [--build-type {Debug,Release}] [--time-control TC]

                     [--games COUNT] [--concurrency COUNT] [--no-book]

options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  --engine-1-commit COMMIT, -e1c COMMIT

                        TinyChess commit for engine 1. Is passed to `git

                        checkout`, so it can be a commit hash or branch.

  --engine-2-commit COMMIT, -e2c COMMIT

                        TinyChess commit for engine 2. Is passed to `git

                        checkout`, so it can be a commit hash or branch.

  --build-type {Debug,Release}, -bt {Debug,Release}

                        Build target type when compiling the engines. Defaults

                        to Debug.

  --time-control TC, -tc TC

                        (cutechess-cli tc documentation) Set the time control.

                        The format is moves/time+increment, where moves is the

                        number of moves per tc, time is time per tc (either

                        seconds or minutes:seconds), and increment is the time

                        increment per move in seconds. Infinite time control

                        can be set with inf. The default is 60+1.

  --games COUNT, -g COUNT

                        Number of games. Defaults to 50.

  --concurrency COUNT, -c COUNT

                        Number of concurrent games. Defaults to 1.

  --no-book, -nb        Disables the use of an opening book.

  --save-fen PATH, -sf PATH

                        Save the FENs of the game to a file path.
