    Hi, first of all sorry for my english :). I tried your program from version 6.1 and must say it's very well done! In version 6.2, for some strange reason, i can't start a new game when the first is ended. I click new game, beginner and simply it does nothing.

    Another question: there is a way to make the tutor think before i made my move instead of after?

    Thank you for your work!

    Hi Francesco, can you send me the file = bug.log (to lukasmonk at gmail.com) in the program folder, I can´t replicate the problem.

    And in relation to another question, there is a bug, it must think before, I will solve this and i will upload a new release.

    Thanks,
    Lucas

    Hello Lucas!

    It could sound strange but I am interested if it is possible to fix the bug "ConfigMotor instance has no attribute 'url'" manually without downloading full installer of version 6.2a?

    Anyway many thanks for great and useful software!

      Download this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18461840/lc62a.exe, and execute it in the program folder.
      It has two files lucas.exe and library.zip.
      You must replace the files with the same name.

      Cheers
      Lucas

    Just noticed now I can't create new profiles when start Lucas Chess. I can only choose one of two I have created before. I believe were was extra menu item like 'Add new user...'

Future version 10 step 05: Scanner of positions

Some days ago Juan Carlos Antón, head of UNED chess school , does give me permission to include tactical positions from the PDFs on the downloads of UNED web, which I consider very educational. The problem is there is no possibility of obtaining  original fens. The solution to ease my work, has been to create something like an OCR of image positions, which at this specific case is working very well. Only three concepts are handled : mark, deduce, and learn. First, mark the board, the next step is to deduce, if there are errors the user corrects them manually and asked the program to learn from them. At the beginning there are quite a few errors, but less and less. To mark the Board a transparent window is launched that occupies the desk and lets see the PDF and select a position. It is selected with the mouse by dragging a corner to the other, and it is fitted with the arrow keys. At the end the Enter key is pressed to accept the selected and continue in the program wi...
