Version 8.01: some bugs fixed and new option Fide-Elo

As expected, some bugs have been detected, and it requires this update:

Bugs :

  • Database of positions, removing, renaming, ... (Nils Andersson)
  • Database of games, saving to PGN (gvdsloot1994)
  • Some English labels (Nils Andersson)

New options:

  • Fide-Elo, based on TWIC database (Chris K.)
  • Using depth and time in the analysis of a game. The analysis stop when one of both is reached.(Philou)

  1. Wow! Great! New version 8.01! What a pace! Thank you!
    And new "FIde ELO" and another options!
    (but the old name "FICS Elo" remains. Better will be rename to "FIDE Elo" for differentiate names, I think :)
    I was send by email the "bug.log" (from 8.0 version) for errors identify.

    Regards

  2. I played a game against Stockfish DD at 3 seconds per move with r3k3/1p1p4/1pnB1P2/p2P4/1N2P1P1/Pp5B/3P3P/n3K2R w KQkq - 0 1
    and I got the game 1. dxc6 dxc6 2. Nd3 Nc2+ 3. Kd1 Rd8 4. e5 Nd4 5. g5 b2 6. Nxb2 Kf7 7. g6+ Kxg6 8. Rg1+ Kh6 9. f7 Nf3 10. f8=Q+ Rxf8 11. Bxf8+ Kh5 12. Bg4+ Kg6 13. Bxf3+ Kf5 14. Bd6 b5 15. Bg4+ Kg5 16. e6 a4 17. e7 b4 18. e8=Q b3 19. Be2+ Kh6 20. Qh5# 1-0
    and I analyzed the move 6. Nxb2 with default analyzer critter 1.6a 32 bit and then I changed the analyzer to Stockfish DD for 10 seconds.
    Bb8 is valued at +0 but the line it gave was a mate line - Critter at 3 seconds analysis confirmed that this was a mate line.

    1. Point is, when analyzing a position, sometimes it will say +0 even when it is clearly not (maybe for Stockfish DD only)

    2. If you want I could prepare a special version with log all engine moves to a file (bug.log), say me.

    2. Hi!

      I adjourned a game against "Fics player", but now I can't find it to resume playing. What should I do? Where should I look for the adjourned game?

      Thanks in advance.

  4. I don t quite understand what Fics and Fide Elo options represent. How Lucas selects the moves to reply, what criteria does it have in these two categories of play?

    1. Lucas Chess use pgn games, and it selects a random game in the range choiced, then user plays a determinated game where pgn-player elo is known.

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

R 1.06 Maia

 This update contains a major improvement with the inclusion of Maia. Maia is a neural network chess engine, created with the purpose of making her movements as human as possible. The Maia creation team has prepared 9 versions, from 1100 to 1900 of elo, and thus they have been included in Lucas Chess. You have all the information about Maia at: https://maiachess.com/

Setting analysis parameters

Since version 2.04, you can change the parameters used by the program to determine whether a move is good or bad and also the elo calculated for an analyzed game. The parameters are as follows: limit_score Default value: 2000 Minimum value: 1000 Maximum value: 4000 Data type: integer Determines the score in centipawns from which the position is considered to be totally won, that the probability of winning is 100%. curve_degree Default value: 50 Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 100 Data type: decimal percentage Expresses the correlation between the score in centipawns and the probability of winning/losing. It associates -limit_score with 0 and +limit_score with 100. Curve formula created based in  python-chess/Engine/Score/wdl    difmate_inaccuracy Default value: 3 Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 99 Data type: integer If the difference between the best move and the move made means going
