Replaying games¶
You can replay a game that was already played using the built in script rc-replay. When you install the
reconchess package, the rc-play script gets added to your path so you can run it like an executable.
rc-replay expects an argument that points to a saved game history file, which will be a JSON file.
rc-play and rc-bot-match automatically save a game history file in the directory where they are run,
so you can use those files as input to rc-replay. See reconchess.Player.handle_game_end() for using the
game history object and reconchess.GameHistory.save() for saving it.
rc-replay --help
rc-replay <path to saved game history file>
rc-replay crazy_game.json
Use the --help flag for more information about the arguments.
