    I take note of both suggestions, I have many doubts about the first one.

    Fantastic chess program! Will definitely recommend...I'd like to use an external engine as a tutor. Is this possible? I checked an FAQ but it doesn't seem possible as the options when selecting the tutor are limited.

      Option Tools-Engines-External Engines, to add an external engine.
      Then Options-Configuration-Tutor, an select the external engine.
      The external engine must have the MultiPV option.

    In the Personal Openings Guide it would be useful to go up and down moves with the arrow keys instead of having to click on the move and then use the arrow buttons. Otherwise good upgrade :)

    Hi.
    Lucas Chess is FANTASTIC !!!!!
    But I have some doubts about ELO Performances, in analisys game.
    In the following game of mine, White (me) has a performance of 2648 Elo and Black has a performance of 3018!!!
    But the problem of an overestimation is for all my games.
    I remember that Carlsen has an ELO of 2800.
    I have done the analisys with MCbrain 2.7.
    What is the reality?
    Thank you.
    Giovanni

      The elo calculated depends on the time used for analysis. The longer, the more accurate. With 10 seconds per movement McBrain has calculated that the black elo is 2855 in my pc. It is only a relative measure. Maintain this level, against different users is not easy.

    Is there a way in Personal Openings Guide to make a training for a specific line? Whenever I click training it makes a training session for the main line but I can't work out how to do it for any other lines I'm interested in training with

      Not at the moment. This is a long overdue issue, I haven't found the time to work on it.

LINUX - First binary version

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...
