I had already guessed that there may be a problem, since GUI is now letting engines claim draws.
0.153 will be uploaded today and handles that better.

I already deleted 2 spam mails today, seemed unrelated to ChessGUI.

I got the pm. ChessGUI 0.152 is no good :evil: .
As I said, ChessGUI 0.153 will handle that draw-claiming stuff better :wink:

- by default, ChessGUI will no longer claim 3-fold-rep/50-move-rule for WB vs. WB games
(if UCI is involved, ChessGUI will automatically claim)

- to claim these 2 draws before they appear on the board, WB engines must use the sequence:
1) "offer draw"
2) drawing move
3) "1/2-1/2 { Engine ... claims draw by ... }"

I recommend sending all 3 on one line, e.g.

offer draw\nmove g8f6\nArcBishop80 claims 3-fold-rep\n


Matthias.


P.S.: Perhaps you should all send me ChessGUI debugs of all 3-fold-rep/50-move-rule draws of this ChessGUI version for scrutiny.

- "GUI claims WB draws" was misbehaving in ChessGUI 0.152

I have simply uploaded the version I have already been using here :wink: .

ChessGUI 0.156 is out

ChessGUI 0.156 is out

- consider this version experimental.
- can you successfully create and use board and pieces ?
- if any problems, install the 2 ttf fonts manually
- if this experiment fails, I will go back to one board and one piece set.

- new are 2 bmp files, 2 ttf files, ChessGUI.exe

Any feedback is welcome.

Annoyingly/irritatingly, main board is not default :( .
