I can not help out here, but there was an issue once plus a
solution. In case, it should also be in the list archive,
but it could be burried a bit.

It should perfectly well.

What do you mean by "automatically log and analyse" in the
conjunction with "all" games?

You can observe one game at a time in FICS and you can run
up to two analysis engine in parallel to observing the game.
They'll not annotate their lines however till you choose the
"add variation" or "add variations" button. And note, you
can not observe more than one game. Therefore, if you mean
to add several games to an observation list, get them all
loged into separate DB enties, this is (currently(?)) not
possible. If I got Pascal right in the past he also had no
plans to add this feature, however it would probably be
nice to log a tournament.

Also, annotating several games in parallel would require
quite a bunch of CPUs or analysis would probably not be
good. What you can do however is to fetch a PGN of the
tournament (in whatever way) and run Scids "multi game
analysis" over night. ("Annotate several games from current to
...")

Ie. game on FICS is just like a usual game you have in your
database. That is why I did not be very extensive here in
the docs. Ah, and you're right I missed to link in the
"Observe game" section to the main index. <grmpf> It's in
"Play on the Internet (FICS)".

> I can't find any of this information in the manuals :(

Sorry for that, if I get whats needed I'll gladly add it (at
least to the english version).
