Version 8 step 9: next web

New step with some news:


  • Scoring system is changed, based on a new web (today http://chess-lucaschess.rhcloud.com/ tomorrow I don´t know). Now when posting your scores, changes are done inmediately and web send feedback to user about its position in relation to other users.




  • New web is hosted in Openshift, and it is programmed in python, then it is possible (to me) a live scoring system. 




  • Improves in "Playing against any engine":
    • It can be selected engines that try to emulate playing style of GMs (created by Michele Tumabrello).

    • Configurations: allows to save active configuration with a name to restore in future. 


Updated (25-10-2013)-9.1:
  • Fixed a bug
  • Added: copy to clipboard FEN position in analysis window (M.Larson) 
Updated (27-10-2013)-9.2:
  • Fixed bug about saving video configurations.
  • Added: +button in variations panel, to launch directly an engine to respond your moves. (ADT)
Updated (27-10-2013)-9.3:
  • Fixed bug in "Opponents for Young Players" option.
Updated (28-10-2013)-9.4:
  • Fixed bug, when playing against Gaia engine.

    1. There is a problem with Gaia engine (some debug lines using this engine and I forgot to delete).
      Can be this your case ?

  2. It look like something wrong with analysis points in "Competition". If you give me your mail (or other services), I'll send you some screenshots.

  3. Lucas Chess seems to have the 50 move rule programmed incorrectly. The rule states 50 moves by both players, but Lucas Chess just claimed a draw after 50 total moves, 25 by each player.

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...
