Development version 11.00.05a

This is the development version that I'm working now.
Do not have many changes in relation to the version 10.
These changes are mainly internal.

The default tutor engine is changed from DeepFish to McBrain, both are Stockfish derivatives.

Update 11.00.5a : changed the compilation, this is more compatible.

    1. Now, it works in my PC. Perhaps it is a maintenance problem, I don´t know.

  3. I can't find much information on McBrain; why did you switch, and what are the differences?

    1. The main reason is Deepfish is not updated, it seems to be abandoned.
      And McBrain has an Study option.

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.

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...
