    Nice. You are rapidly becoming my replacement for Chess.com lol. Now correspondence? Next up FICS integration :-)

    I can't get the install to work. Will install, but program does not start. I am using the portable version. (Windows 7 64bit)

    I'm afraid there might be an issue with resistance training. Regardless of settings, I cannot trigger a losing condition. As an example, I can make a blunder that loses more than 50 points, but I can continue on playing.

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

It associates -limit_score with 0 and +limit_score with 100.
