Chess Artist v1.0.rc2 is released at https://github.com/fsmosca/chess-artist ... g/v1.0.rc2

Couple of new features in game annotation includes:
Comment on king safety (need stockfish engine)
Comment on passed pawn (need stockfish engine)
Comment on mobility (need stockfish engine)
comment on sacrificed material

It can also generate chess puzzles from a pgn file input.

Sample annotated game from move 15 to move 40

Command line:

Code: Select all

Had problems with PGN where only a FEN position is defined.
How to analyse thèse with your script?

This PGN which is just a position doesn't work to analyze

Code: Select all

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "001"]
[White "White to move"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]
[FEN "8/6kp/6p1/8/8/2q1BNP1/6KP/8 w - - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]
*
I have Python 3.8.2

I invoke Chess-artist

Code: Select all

python3 chess_artist.py --infile PGN/diagram.pgn --outfile out.pgn --enginefile ./Engine/matefinder --engineoptions "Threads value 4, Hash value 128" --movetime 3000 --job analyze --eval search

Normally the game to be analyzed in the pgn file should have a move in it.

I fixed the crash when the game has no move. After the fix, the analyzed output of that game without a move would look like this.

Code: Select all

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "001"]
[White "White to move"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]
[FEN "8/6kp/6p1/8/8/2q1BNP1/6KP/8 w - - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]
[Annotator "engine: Stockfish 12, program: Chess Artist v2.27.0"]

{Hash 128mb, Threads 1, analysis 3.0s per position, move score is in pawn unit,
positive is good for white and negative is good for black}
{WhiteBlunder=0, BlackBlunder=0, WhiteBad=0, BlackBad=0} *

There is a way to analyze the position in that game, save that position in the epd file.

diagram.epd

Code: Select all

8/6kp/6p1/8/8/2q1BNP1/6KP/8 w - -
command line:

Code: Select all

python chess_artist.py --infile ./EPD/diagram.epd --outfile out_diagram.epd --enginefile ./engine/stockfish/sf12.exe --engineoptions "Hash value 128, Threads value 1" --eval search --job analyze --movetime 10000
epd output:

Code: Select all

8/6kp/6p1/8/8/2q1BNP1/6KP/8 w - - acd 28; acs 10; bm Bd4+; ce +641; Ae "Stockfish 12";

I have downloaded the latest version of Chess-artist from here.
https://github.com/fsmosca/chess-artist ... /tag/v2.12
I want to try it to blundercheck my white repertoire.
I want to avoid that an engine has to go over the same opening lines again and again.
I have a pgn database with the ecoA part of my white repertoire.
It are about 400 games with opening lines, variating from 6 to 36 ply.
I have put all files together in one folder C:\Users\creme\Documents\Second trial repertoire\chess-artist
What would be the best script to use to blunder check the opening lines for the white moves?
I have tried this script

Code: Select all

chess-artist --infile ecoA.pgn --outfile out.pgn --enginefile SF13 --engineoptions "Threads value 4, Hash value 1024" --movetime 6000 --job analyze --color white --eval search
But no blunders where find, and I'm sure there are.
How can I define the threshold for blunders?
