Engine tournaments

Hi all. I recently purchased PC Chess Explorer 1.6. It works great under Windows 8.1 but I have a question. How can I set up a chess engine tournament so that I don't have to set up every game individually? Other chess GUIS allow me to do this (i.e. Arena, Fritz). If this is not yet a feature will you please consider adding it to a future release?

Thanks,
Dave

Engine tournaments are not supported in HCE, we have always wanted HCE to focus primarily on the chess player so most of our attention has gone on features for chess players rather than chess engine testers. There are lots of GUIs which focus on engines so producing another GUI doing mainly that did not appeal to us when we developed HCE originally. Since then we have progressively added a lot of new features in our free updates which we have been releasing for over a year now.

We introduced engine matches in v1.5, we will consider engine tournaments along with other features for the future but the feature is not near.
