Hi Bryan,

When I run a engine tournament after a few moves the tournament aborts with the following message.
LOOPWATCH-MOVE-ABORTED after very long move time
Have you ever come across this?
this error message comes from Arena 3.51, not from anything in this MESS-Chess package.
Since I don't make (and never made) any engine tournaments and I also don't use Arena 3.51 at all (I still use the old Arena 1.1 version),
I can't give you any serious answer.
I could just guess: maybe the used engine takes more time than your Arena settings allow for moves, and so Arena aborts this game!?
I'm sure there's some setting in Arena for such tournaments to specify the maximum move time - or you would have to set a higher time control
(with longer move times) for this engine.
Regards,
Franz
