    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

    Can I report a bug here please?

    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
    Black: Kh6, Rb4, Pa4

    4. After 1.b8=Q Rxg4+ 2.Kxg4 a4, the White Queen at b8 is indragable?!

LINUX - First binary version

The first official binary version of Lucas Chess on Linux has just been released. It has only been made possible by the great work done by Laudecir Daniel , choosing and compiling the 67 engines, as well as laying the groundwork so that the binaries can be more widely used and others such as shortcut creation, installation scripts, ...... In addition,  Graham O'Neill  has provided Linux-specific drivers for several digital boards. This version has two limitations : 64-bit Linux OS only. Minimum GNU libc version: 2.26 (ldd --version shows it) Installation has been made as simple as possible: The installer is a .sh file, generated with the  makeself  tool, and can be downloaded from: SourceForge , GitHub The file must be run from a terminal with user permissions only: sh ./LucasChessR123_LINUX.sh Launches a GUI with very basic options: Install: Installs in LucasChessR folder inside the home user folder. Generates a shortcut in Applications > Games Launch the application at the end
