Greetings, There is an issue I have with money game sessions. If players are both 'Gnu Backgammon' then the program automatically makes moves and starts a new game of the session once the previous one has finished. And this will continue without end. In the desktop version of GnuBG I can interrupt the match, but then there appears to be no way of restarting it. The same is also true in the console version of GnuBG. I can do Ctrl+C to interrupt but cannot resume.
To get around this it would be useful if there were a match length parameter for money game sessions so that the session could end after a certain number of games have been played. In the console version of GnuBG this could be done via the command 'new session [length]'. The session would then not run forever. Why would this be useful for me? It is because I would like to be able to have console-GnuBG run a computer vs. computer session where one of the players is ranked expert ( 2-ply ) with the other ranked grandmaster ( 3-ply ) and have the session run for a sufficient number of games for me to quantify how much better 3-ply is over 2-ply. Would it be possible for this to be added to the next release? Best Wishes, Dariusz Stachowski
