  1. Hi, Lucas,
    I wonder if it is possible to choose a range of move numbers while creating "Find best move" training set from mass analysis. It would be very good to be able to generate exercises from, say, only middlegame positions (moves #7 throug #20, for example), and skip endgame positions, or vice-versa.
    Or it could be one of the "Generate new trainigs" utilities in Find the best moves. In addition to the exisiting "divide" and "extract" options, we could generate a subset based on move numbers. Shouldn't be very hard, right?
    Thanks for all the effort!

  2. In Create a Game, I click "help to move". Is there a way to copy the PGN of the moves suggested by the engine? I can only see copy FEN. Thankz in advance.

    1. I have used the easy way, using analysis processes, then as the move is not done, it is not possible to add other moves as variations.
      You must move and analyze again.

    2. Just checking - I would also like to be able to access all of the UNED tactics as one mixed file. Is this possible?

    3. Manually, exec cmd to create a terminal, go to program directory (Program Files (x86)/LucasChess) subfolder Trainings\Tactics by UNED chess school, then copy *.fns uned.fns, then cut that file and copy in the folder:
      ..\..\UsrData\Personal Training\

    4. Got it - thank you very much!

  4. Hello Lucas,
    I was wondering if you can add some kind of "alert" when there is a tactics
    for example in :
    after your opponent make a move : it alerts you,
    Thank you.

    1. Tactics ?
      You could use kibitzers to know which is the state of the game.
      Probably I don´t understand, explain me more if so.

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...
