Maybe you could display these stats in even greater detail, like a graph showing the ups and downs during a game (lost scores, complexity, piece activity and so forth). Maybe even try to determine whether a blunder was a tactical or a strategical mistake. (ie a material switch happening 4 moves after the actual blunder could be displayed as a tactical mistake while a positional disadvantage 8 moves later was a strategic mistake. The graph could show all kinds of information and maybe compare a history of games to find repeating moves. Since you're already grabbing values from the analysis, this idea might be possible and something that could help players understand what they need to improve on.<br />Thanks for a great software!MeWannaTakeYouHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842411012981930958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-88341526857420963882014-07-24T16:25:09.894+02:002014-07-24T16:25:09.894+02:00It is a bad screen refresh, but internally the gam...It is a bad screen refresh, but internally the game is correct. <br />Going to previous move then to this move then is corrected.<br />I´ll try to fix it.<br />ThanksLucas Mongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929193139136561553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-45941160306492872232014-07-23T09:57:15.427+02:002014-07-23T09:57:15.427+02:00Ah ok.

Because I often play on different computers, I was wondering if there was a way to easily transfer my account/user information from one computer to another. Perhaps by copying the UsrData folder from one computer to another? In the future are you considering having a capability to store user information in the cloud and then have it sync when opening Lucas Chess?<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />MikeMike M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04753337814686140193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-23839979349665355202014-06-27T09:47:14.867+02:002014-06-27T09:47:14.867+02:00You have good ideas to improve this option, "...You have good ideas to improve this option, "the undefened resources, resources under perforating attack, the pinned resources,<br />resources which can give the chech.", they are in my task list, but they are not easy to implement, I have to study them yet. <br />Cheers<br />LucasLucas Mongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929193139136561553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-38938029706083383222014-06-27T09:35:31.451+02:002014-06-27T09:35:31.451+02:00Hi Phillip,

In this moment, my aim is that it was useful to understand the game. It is developing so it will need a lot of feedback.<br />Cheers<br />LucasLucas Mongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929193139136561553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-1210294832024868402014-06-26T20:27:30.519+02:002014-06-26T20:27:30.519+02:00Hi Lucas!

The line goes up when white has an advantage and the down when black has an advantage? Seems simple to implement such a thing, and would be very useful and attractive for new users.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448588854381079460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157156644343006168.post-55327065246133566952014-06-26T14:14:10.696+02:002014-06-26T14:14:10.696+02:00Dear Lukas Monge, very much I wait for updatings a...Dear Lukas Monge, very much I wait for updatings as the board at a glance about which I spoke.
