From setup to results

Configure engine tournaments

Run UCI and CECP chess engines in head-to-head matches, round robins, gauntlets or knockouts. Choose time controls, openings and the number of simultaneous games; save configurations and presets for another run.

Follow games and manage the run

Watch live boards and moves alongside progress, standings and engine statistics. Pause or resume scheduling, stop a run, and review recorded operator interventions when a game needs attention.

Review and share results

Explore standings, game results and match statistics, including Elo estimates. Keep PGN game records and event logs for later review, and optionally broadcast live games.

Organize human Swiss events

Review and publish pairings, enter or correct results, and manage byes and withdrawals. Swiss pairings require a separately installed bbpPairings engine.

Run from the command line

Use a tournament configuration to run engine matches without the desktop interface. The downloadable command-line tools include a sample configuration and demo engine to help you get started.

Quiescence is not endorsed by FIDE. Check the rules and reporting requirements for your event before relying on its results.
