    Do you plan on adding a database management system to Lucas? Would love to use your program to track personal games, keep a grandmaster master database etc. Maybe use SCID's format.

    Thank you

      Now there are a minimal database system, (Tools-Openings-Personal opening guide-Games). But yes, my idea is extend this, and improve edition of each game. In relation to struct, surely I use my own struct, because it can be adapted to my requisites.

      Thanks for the reply and noting the minimal database. Could you move it to another sub menu:

      Tools->Databases->Master | Personal | Create New

      That way it can be separated from opening work/training.

      Keep up the good work the program is very good and better then most commercial offerings.

      Thank you

    For technical reasons I could not post pictures but describe by words only, sorry


    1. select Training -> Training mates -> Mate in 3

    2. click Level and go to Level 1, Block 3

    3. go to position 5/7

    Description of this position

    White(to move): Kh4, Ra7, Pb7,g4,h5

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...
