How to automatically evaluate a list of fen positions?

[Dr. Axel Schumacher]

Hi all,

the following problem:

I have a list of fen positions I want to analyze. I want to know the eval of let's say 3 different engines (each calculating a certain time) to each position.
How can I do this?
As testset? It's not a classical test suite as I do not provide a solution move. I just want to have the eval of the 3 engines stored in a file for each position, maybe with the mainline.
I would prefer it done under Chessbase GUI (but Arena could be another option).
How can I do it?

Thanks,

Axel

Hi Axel,
Quite some time ago, I used (Fritz 11 GUI): Tools - Analysis - Process test set...
Look at "Process test set" in the Fritz Help

It works well.
I used it with the same fen 100 times, in order to see the statistical distribution of the time-to-solve, in my multiprocessor environment.

Of course, this is with the same engine. Then you change the engine and do the test set again.

But I do not need to provide a 'best move'? Just the position!?
Do I have to convert the fen to pgn and then to cbh or is there an easier way?
