    Thank you for your wonderful program, and especially thanks for making it free & open source!
    Here are some comments on the latest release (9 step 7) for windows:

    · 'Help to move' is getting stuck most of the time (even with MultiPV set to 1).
    · DiscoCheck seems badly build for windows. when started manually (from command line) it errs with "The procedure entry point _ZNSt6chrono3_V212system_clock3nowEv could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll". (when started from within Lucas it does seem to work, after a long pause, but I'm not sure).

    Some general comments/requests:
    · It would be helpful to be able to set general settings for all (UCI) engines that accept some option, such as NalimovPath.
    · It would be helpful & very informative to be able to see all the settings and parameters for all the different engines (from Lucas-Elo & Tourney-Elo, including Monkey till Snake).
    · In 'Play like a grandmaster', 'Import' is trying to read a list from the internet. This is a problem for me, since I have no connection on windows, therefore I can't import even local files. Why not fall-back to the local list (listaGM.txt)?
    · The 'Database' tool is creating really large files for any sizeable PGN file. Have you considered using the Scid file format?

    Again, thank you very much for this awesome software. I'm not trying to criticize, hopefully some of my comments will be helpful.

    With due respect.

      Thanks philmath for all the feedback.
      Help to move launch tutor engine, If tutor works this too. I believe it is an engine problem.
      Discocheck, fixed now in my copy.
      A panel with UCI options, some fixed, is a good idea, I will try to implement it.
      Folder with all GM: https://9e381514ebe3c322ee1218fc59752291d258e933.googledrive.com/host/0B0D6J3YCrUoubmZGVzhfRjNYdkU/
      Download and unzip, and put in GM folder.
      Database is much more flexible with that format (sqlite) from my point of view, if I want to add more features.
      Cheers
      Lucas

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...
