        Hi, Lucas.
        I wonder what should happen if I click "Tools->Database->Complete games"? Now it shows nothing and my bug.log full of this:

        Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "Code\QT\WBase.pyo", line 259, in procesarAccion

        File "Code\Procesador.pyo", line 468, in procesarAccion

        File "Code\Procesador.pyo", line 714, in tools

        File "Code\Procesador.pyo", line 732, in database

        File "Code\QT\PantallaDatabase.pyo", line 67, in __init__

        File "Code\QT\PantallaDatabase.pyo", line 94, in inicializa

        File "Code\QT\WBG_Games.pyo", line 181, in actualiza
        c
        KeyError: 'alm'

        Thanks!

          I can´t replicate the problem.
          The best option would be that you send me that file with the problem, to trace when it is loaded.

          Which file are you talking about? I simple unpacked portable distribution to a new dir, started Lucas Chess, clicked "Tools->Database->Complete games" and nothing happened. Since there is no proper documentation I don't know if something suppose to happen. The bug.log file is full of lines I posted in the first message (they just repeating).
          Maybe this blog is not a proper place to report issues? Maybe it is better to use github as I did with the UCI "type string" thing?

          Fixed and published.
          This and Github are good places to report issues, use that you are more comfortable. To do a feedback of pure code GitHub I believe has a better editor, but there is no problem if you send from here. If you want you can send me directly to my mail.

        Can someone explain what the purpose of the new "Save positions to FNS/PGN" feature is? I don't even understand what it's for.

          If you have a lot of positions (massive work) and you want to solve them and convert in a PGN file or a FNS. With the FNS you can train tactics in Lucas Chess, with the PGN same but with other GUIs.

        Is this a 64 bit program?
        I noticed there is a shorter list of engines...What happened?
        Great work by the way!

      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...
