      In the first versions of the program, it was allowed to play between computers (via ip), but I removed it without any complaints, as it is not easy to maintain.

      You have a previous installation with the language changed. But it is easy to config: Press Options (icon with a nut)-Configuration (first option): change the language to English an Accept.

    This is a great program for playing and learning but I've noticed something odd. When I finish a quick game against an "Opponent for young players"
    the program asks me whether to restart or not, I click "yes" and the game freezes. It does not start a new game nor can I cancel or restart the current game. It just doesn't react to any button I click except of "Takeback". I need to close and restart the whole application then. (Win7 x64)

    Thank you Lucas for your excellent work. Just a quick problem which has stopped me using Lucas chess to make instructional videos is that if I want to add graphics such as arrows when I click on the squares to target nothing happens so I can't use the function keys to add anything.

    Thanks again,
    Josh

      I have not feedback about this option, and I do not use it.

      You could press F1 by example and use the mouse to create an arrow, or whatever is assigned to your F1 key.

      Thank you. The jump to Android is too complex and laborious, I have made some attempt, but immediately I have lost the desire to continue.

      Yes, it is a bug of 11.10a,I don´t know why.
      You need to reinstall.
      Or download: http://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/static/updates11/update1111.zip
      And uncompress in lucaschess folder, maintaining folder struct.

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...
