    Hi Lucas, congratulations for the excellent program! It was recommended to me but i don't know what to install: the Instalable version or the portable version? I have a notebook with windows 7. What is the diference?

    They are the same,
    Instalable is more easy to install, you don´t need to think where to install, and it creates the links to the program, and inform to windows which is the way to uninstall.
    Portable, only ask for a folder to save the program, and nothing more, it less intrusive,
    Installable is best choice for most users.

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...
