      This is the way. It must be a problem with tha kibitzer. File bug.kibitzer has the information, if not bug.log.

      I have tried again the old version 11.00.20a and the Kibitzer worked fine.
      With last version Kibitzer does not work. There is only the file bug.log containing the string "Version 11.00.21".
      Hi and thank you.

    Hi.
    During a tournament between chess engines:
    1) The "Cancel" button at top/left does not work (i must kill the process to exit);
    2) The difference of materials (ALT+C) is not updated in real time but I must press ALT+C twice to see the current materials.
    Thank you.

    The old version Lucas 11.00.20 was working, with the latest version of Lucas 11.00.21 impossible to move a part (under Windows 10). Would it be possible to include in an upcoming version of Lucas an opening report as in the Scid vs Pc chess program, see the video on youtube in French of ChessMI, the video it calls "Bénéficiez de toute une vie de GMI pour construire votre répertoire d'ouvertures! "

In addition,  Graham O'Neill  has provided Linux-specific drivers for several digital boards. This version has two limitations : 64-bit Linux OS only.

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...
