      To play simultaneus games can be done launching more than a time Lucas Chess. (not easy to do a direct implementation)
      And to add playing more engines, you can use all kibitzers that you want.

    Will analysis improve if I am not doing other things on my computer why the computer is analyzing my game from "create your own game"?

      If you select a fixed time to think the engine, then it can be affected, but in many cases very little.

      What if the computer (automatically) goes to sleep (after some period of inactivity)?

      This is controled by the OS, Windows in this case.
      Theoretically, it wake up with the same conditions.

    Daire veya başka bir işaretleyiciler ile karelerin vurgulanması daha iyi olabilir. Lucas,açılış , oyun ortası ve oyun sonu için farklı elo hesaplayabilir mi?( buradaki amaç oyuncunun nerede hata yaptığını bulabilmek)

    When I analyze a game I get elo performance. Can you calculate elo performance for analysis, the opening, middlegame and endgame ?

    Hi lucas thanks for all your work,

    Could it be possible to add another type of time control ?
    In shogi there's a time control called "one minute per move". Each time you move your time reset to one minute but you never gain any time. It's quite exciting.
    For the moment to do it with your software I just look at the time I spent and try to stay below 1 minute each move but it would be more exciting if it was implemanted ^^.

    Anyway just an idea,

    Good day to you my chess friend,

      It is a good idea, only with effect to the player and not the engine, I note it.

      Hi Lucas !
      Lucaschess is really a very good and interesting software programme.
      One of my student uses it since one year and his Elo-rating passed since 1300 to 1950 FIDE !

      Can you create time control as 1h30+30s/move ?
      Or better : you can enter your 1st control for 40 moves and the second... to obtain tournament cadences... ?

      Thnak you very much for your very good job !

      Hi Lucas !
      Thank you very much for your very interesting software programme ! I use it with my students, with good results !
      Is it possible to create tournament time controls with the rule concerning the first 40 moves, and block the DGT since the player move is played on the board (and not when the programme played). Or allow a time choice to the manipulation...

      Congratulations for your funny job !

      Hi Manuel,
      I am happy to know that the program is helping in the real world. 650 points is extraordinary, if the program has helping something in that is a very good news.
      Work in time options is something pending, I take note about it.
      Thank you very much.

    Once you press "quit" in "create your own game", there is an option to save the game, but if you press "yes" followed by "cancel" you still quit and the game is not saved. Can this be changed so that if you press "cancel" here then the game does not quit, or if this is not possible perhaps add an "Are you sure?" regardless of whether the user saves or not?

    It would be interesting if the players could make arrows during the game to analyze the best moves, for example, as in the lichess. And an option to make red squares selections in critical pieces.
    Thank you Lucas for everything! :)

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. Generates a shortcut in Applications > Games Launch the application at the end

The Maia creation team has prepared 9 versions, from 1100 to 1900 of elo, and thus they have been included in Lucas Chess. You have all the information about Maia at: https://maiachess.com/

Setting analysis parameters

Since version 2.04, you can change the parameters used by the program to determine whether a move is good or bad and also the elo calculated for an analyzed game. The parameters are as follows: limit_score Default value: 2000 Minimum value: 1000 Maximum value: 4000 Data type: integer Determines the score in centipawns from which the position is considered to be totally won, that the probability of winning is 100%. curve_degree Default value: 50 Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 100 Data type: decimal percentage Expresses the correlation between the score in centipawns and the probability of winning/losing. It associates -limit_score with 0 and +limit_score with 100. Curve formula created based in  python-chess/Engine/Score/wdl    difmate_inaccuracy Default value: 3 Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 99 Data type: integer If the difference between the best move and the move made means going
