HCE and Chess960

[Clive]

Hi Mark,

I am looking to purchase HCE and I was wondering if it is possible to set up engine matches from a chess960 position?

Thanks

I have HCE Pro and Chess960 is an option when playing the engine.
Not sure about in the non Pro version.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

However I am looking to play engine matches using the Chess960 format. This cannot be done with Chessbase and I was wondering if HCE Pro can has this feature?

When creating an engine match you can set it to get the starting positions from a database.
If you created Chess960 starting positions it would then use them. Looks like it can pick one from Random or run through them sequentially.

Many thanks Chris.
