ChessGUI 0.150 is out

[Matthias Gemuh]

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.

Matthias.

ChessGUI 0.158 is out

- board is now scaled much better
- board bmp files of any colours are easy to create
- colours of main/analysis boards can be swapped

Code: Select all

Board_Colours=13033702 6272607 13565951 16628164 13033702 6272607 13565951 16628164

If you share the "Board_Colours" from debug file, other people can use it to create board/pieces bmp files.

I have a problem with ChessGUI 0.158 Portable Version.

I select "start positions" Noomen 2008, 30 positions, alternate color, 60 games.

All games are played, with the last position. I think that previously worked well for me.

Am I doing something wrong?

Best,

Pedro

Hi Pedro,

it is a bug.
Just shutdown ChessGUI, restart ChessGUI, and restart tournament.
Tell me if that works.

ChessGUI 0.159a is out

because I found a window with input focus hiding behind another window.

Matthias - could you please explain what each of the extra options for Winboard engines does?

Thanks,
Graham.

You mean unsupported commands ?
If engine misbehaves on receiving them, GUI will avoid sending them (if they are checked/ticked).
The lengthy meanings of the commands are in engine-intf-hgm.html in GUI_DATA.

OK, I will put it on my to-do list.

I assume you did not forget to:
- mark engines as portable
- mark GUI as portable in GUI Preferences (through tournament setup window)

Thanks for reporting.
The portable version still needs some polishing .

Matthias.
