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...
Thanks Lucas. I am using Lucas Chess more and more. One question: how do you set the slow move of pieces?
ReplyDeleteHi, Options-Configuration-Boards, mark Visual effects.
DeleteHey, thank you lucas chess. it's very helpful.
ReplyDeleteBut version 9.06 sounds is inactive and while i win a game, program not +elo for me!
Sorry, I couldn't test it till the end of August.
DeleteI have done a test now without problems, perhaps file bug.log in the installation folder of LC explain your problem, it is a text file with lines of code where each bug has been produced..
DeleteHello Lucas! This could be a wonderful application for windows. But I saw that you are improving this and it seems good. So, I am requesting if you don't mind.. Let's have application for LUCAS CHESS in android form. Hell Yeah! Just request anyway, I don't need your compliant. Thanks!
DeleteHi Ban, I like to have an Android version, but it is too much work, perhaps in the future when python (tool I use) and the libraries were more compatible.
DeleteHi Lucas,
ReplyDeleteI have version 9.06a but cannot find any of the generation 2 engines. I typically use ELO-Rating for playing, but those engines are never listed when the list shows the engines that can be selected for play.
To update to version 9.06a, I used the "Search for Updates" feature in the Information menu. Clicking on "About" in the Information menu confirms that I do have version 9.06a.
Am I supposed to download the generation 2 engines separately?
Thanks!
I haven´t yet calculated the elo of this engines.
DeleteI am working in a way of calc this with a simplified method, but I am now testing.
OK, that makes sense. I look forward to playing against them.
ReplyDeleteHi Lucas,
ReplyDeleteI noticed for the last few versions that when playing Black..the scoring is always negative..is that correct? When I use Tutor, my move is always a better point value, then the Tutor;s suggestion. When I play white, it is not like this.
Thanks!
Don
Hi, the program uses a fixed scoring system, if positive white is winning and if negative black. In the first versions the score was from user point of view.
DeleteNow, if you are playing black, less positive numbers is better.
