Game termination

[st4ck3]

Hi,

I am using the library python-chess for games between engines. I define a board and a game, according to:

#63

##########################################
# a very simple tournment between two uci engines
##########################################
import chess
import chess.uci
import chess.pgn

board = chess.Board()
engine = chess.uci.popen_engine("stockfish")
engine.uci()

while True:

    board.reset()

    # Create a game and set headers.
    game = chess.pgn.Game()
    game.headers["White"] = engine.name
    game.headers["Black"] = engine.name
    game.setup(board)  # Not required for the standard
                       # starting position.

    node = game

    while not board.is_game_over():
        engine.position(board)
        bestmove, ponder = engine.go(movetime=100)
        print bestmove
        board.push(bestmove)

        node = node.add_variation(bestmove) # Add game node

    print board
    print board.fen()
    print board.result()

    game.headers["Result"] = board.result()
    print game

I developed an adjudication procedure, but once the game is stopped, I can edit the game header but cannot bring the outcome into the board or game. When I save the results to a file, the game ends with "*".

Is it possible to assign the results to the board even if the game could continue?

Thanks in advance for your help!
