ChessGUI 0.139 is out

Post by Matthias Gemuh »

ChessGUI 0.139 is out

- testsuite feature revisited
- "All in One" window in BigView
- list of supported engines updated
- board sounds revisited

Switching to this version is recommended.
If you have a commercial chess program with nice board sounds,
consider using them in ChessGUI !

ChessGUI 0.140 is an optical improvement over ChessGUI 0.139.

Is it OK just to replace the exe with the new one ?

Hi Matthias,

did you check whether or not Waxman and Glass work correctly under ChessGUI at your end?

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham,
I have Glass 0.1.0b and it has no problems.
Waxman misbehaves. I have not tried yet with WB2UCI adapter.
BTW, checkout menu point "Define ChessGUI colours" in ChessGUI 0.141.
Only exe has changed.
Best,
Matthias.

Hi Matthias,

just downloaded 0.141 and will try soon.
Glass 0.1.0c seems to very slow and only reaches a depth of about 5 here. Perhaps I'll try on another computer to make sure it's not a hardware issue.

Cheers, Graham.

I need help from everybody here because I am colour-blind !!!
Please checkout menu point "Define ChessGUI colours" in ChessGUI 0.142.
Define some nice colours there, even unused ones.
Send me the colours by playing 2 games in ChessGUI 0.142 and sending me one GUI debug file.
I will now suspend work on ChessGUI for a while.

OK, I'll do that :)

Although I can't guarantee they will be nice...
