  1. I think that this bug is present for a long time, but I've just tried it in latest version... "Only add better variant" actually only ads the best variant (checked in saved pgn). Tried multiple engines and got same result. It would be useful to have both options - "Show better variants" and "Only show the best variant" if one would prefer to save shorter analysis.

    1. I don´t understand, as there is one option "only one move" and other "only better", and you can select one or both.
      If you want you can send me a partial of pgn with examples you want.

  2. Fics-ELO hangs when the game completes in this version. At least it has every time for me. I'll try to narrow down which version has this happen for the first time.

    1. I can´t replicate the problem, I have playing two times and no problem.
      Reason is that I I don´t know the context that causes the bug.
      You can send me file bug.log in the program folder, perhaps it has more information.

    2. Thanks for the reply. The bug.log is below. I hadn't checked this file before the games so these may be unrelated. I'll try to replicate with a clean log file tomorrow.

    3. Hi Chris, these errors say me that you want to paste a pgn game and a bug appears. In this case, the pgn you want to paste would be a help to me, to replicate the problem.

    4. Hi Lucas. Sorry for the delay in replying. The bug.log looks like a false lead. The problem occurred again this evening, playing Fics-Elo 1200. The bug.log file was not updated. CPU was 0%, memory at 63MB. Task manager said "Not responding". I have a screenshot of the program at the time if you'd like me to send it to you. Just let me know where.

    5. One option is my email: lukasmonk at gmail.

  3. Verified that the Fics-ELO bug I mentioned earlier happens in v9 step2

  5. default theme graphic for soft is very bright, difficulty seeing, you can change graphic pieces and chessboard example chess24.com (graphic chessboard fusion)

  6. You have a lot of themes to select, or you can create a new one.
    Pressing right button over the left-up corner, and selecting Color, you can choose one. Also you can edit one.

    In relation to pieces, in the popup there is an option to do this.
    Also in the Gorgonian web http://gorgonian.weebly.com/lucas-chess.html you have more piece set.

      To flip board: pressing circle indicating color playing.

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.

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...
