Development version 11.00.11: elo perfomance

The main feature added is a new value shown when analyzing a game, it is the elo perfomance, a formule created by Michele Tumbarello that calculates the elo of each move and of the game. This formula is designed to do the more accurate results when using MacBrain as engine and a minimum time of 5 second per move.





More news:

  • Captures: added a new option "Material advantage". (Carlo)



 Bugs fixed:

  • Replay a game doesn´t show information about captures and comments (thanks to Ed Smith)
  • Linux, main window now can be maximized/minimized (thanks to ACinnamonUserInUK)
  • Some corrections to the tactics of Transsiberian (done by Alfonso Solbes)


 Engines:

  • Removed fixed elo of Delphi from 1100 to 2600, maintaining 1000 the only that is working (detected by Serg Iv)
  • New engine: Hannibal 1.7 Authors: Samuel N. Hamilton and Edsel G. Apostol, Home Page: http://sites.google.com/site/edapostol/hannibal
  • Texel updated to 1.07a6
  • McBrain updated to 1.2
  • Removed smarthink, 32 bits version has problems in some pcs.

      Yes, the Elo performance should be more realistic, if not it would not be useful at all.For example, the overall rating could decrease if a serious mistake is done in the game (a sort of penalty calculation).

      The calculation of elo perfomance of the game, now is a simple arithmetic mean.
      Michele Tubarello is the creator of the formula. I have asked him about this.
      Meanwhile, I have tested adding two factors in the mean(only):
      1. no low 1000 limit,
      2. and using the variety of moves in each position as a weight.

      If you want to test:
      https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0D6J3YCrUouQXJxSGNXc2Y0YkE/view?usp=sharing
      This is a zip file, to uncompress maintaining the folders, to replace 3 files in the installation.

    Hi
    In the graph of analysis, what the vertical "red bars" indicate?
    Thank you.

    Here on ArchLinux 64 with wine 1.9.22, when playing TourneyElo (vs rose), hamster.exe starts to use a lot of CPU and doesn't stop even when it's my turn. So for now i can't use this version.

      Version of Hamster is the problem, it works well with 0.5, if you want to test, change bin file in Engines/Windows/hamster, with the same file in version 10, (or write me an email).

    Thank you.
    I will use this space to report a bug:
    i loaded a database with all capablanca games in pgn; when i tried to use the filter option (any of them) to search for instance all the games with alekhine, the system always aplies a e4 opening filter that modifies the result of the filtering, and its impossible to turn off. Please take a look!
    thank you again.

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...
