  1. Moves announcement.
    I do not know if this is the right place to ask,in case let me know.
    One question about sounds / Move announcements. I have been using version 8 and had been able, following some previous instructions now lost, to download a complete set of sounds/move announcements, so that the program was automatically announcing my and opponent's moves. Now, changing version, I have completely lost this feature and the relative sounds. Somebody can suggest me again where these sounds are downloadable and where to install it ?
    Thank you and best compliments about the program

    1. When the program is installed the folder UsrData, where all this information is saved remains intact.
      This folder is installed in the same folder than LucasChess binaries.
      The correct way to reinstall the program is to let the installation program to do all work.
      I don´t know if this is the problem.

  3. ¡Hola Lucas!
    Estoy tratando de instalar la versión 10 en Linux y se me presentó este problemita luego de compilar satisfactoriamente LCEngine e irina:

    python Lucas.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "Lucas.py", line 40, in
    import Code.Init
    File "./Code/Init.py", line 13, in
    from Code import Procesador
    File "./Code/Procesador.py", line 5, in
    from Code import Albums
    File "./Code/Albums.py", line 5, in
    from Code import Books
    File "./Code/Books.py", line 7, in
    from Code import ControlPosicion
    File "./Code/ControlPosicion.py", line 1, in
    import LCEngine
    ImportError: ./LCEngine.so: undefined symbol: movegen_piece_to

    Al parecer faltan las referencias a irina. ¿Me pudiera dar una idea de cómo solucionar esto?

    ¡Como siempre gracias por su magnífico programa! Reciba mis saludos

    1. Tienes que incluir la librería libirina.so en el raiz, junto a LCEngine.so.
      Prueba y me dices si sigue sin funcionar.

      Delete
    2. Hola:
      Probé copiando libirina.so en la raíz pero me da el mismo error. Un detalle es que en el makefile de irina la biblioteca se generaba como libirina.a en vez de .so, lo cambié pero da el mismo error a la hora de ejecutar Lucas.
      ¡Gracias por su pronta respuesta!

    3. Prueba con un lanzador xlucas.sh por ejemplo:
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
      ./Lucas.py

      Delete
    4. Creando el lanzador da el mismo resultado. Tengo que investigar un poco más el tema... Me da la impresión de que libirina.so se está enlazando estáticamente con LCEngine.so. ¿Pudiera ser que la referencia movegen_piece_to no está declarada "extern"?

      Delete
    5. Con ese lanzador funciona en un Linux-Mate, instalado en una máquina virtual (que supongo que es lo de menos).
      Quizás tengas que añadir al PATH el "."

    1. Can you tell me where is the file DGTEBDLL.dll in your system ?
      I need the path, something like "c:\Program Files\DGT Projects"
      Also you can copy this file in the LucasChess folder.

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...
