Suggestion:

Is it poosible to have the remote engine send back engine data to the host system? Such as Move Time and Eval, so that they can be displayed in the host GUI. Currently I have been using Chessbase to merge the PGN's from the remote and host systems, however if this is possible I would no longer need to do that. Plus it would be nice to see the eval graph for the other side all in the same Gui.

I have two systems, both with two video cards (Intel and Nvidia). One is a Desktop and the other a laptop. On the laptop "Opacity" appears to control opactiy for both the App and Panel BK. On the desktop for some reason it only controls the App BK. Any ideas on why this is? I think that in a earlier version you could set opacity for each individually.

GUI crashes for me during test tournaments. 3 times in a row, so I switched to LittleBlitzer

Usually, BSG doesn't control the opacity of Panel background. There is only a trick for setting up its opacity: select Plain color then change the opacity of that the selected color.

It is not hard to add an opacity controller for Panel BK. However, I worry about the complexity for users (too many things to control)

Sorry to hear that!

Do you mind to give me some more information to help both me and other users: what is your system (OS, CPU, RAM), which engines (names) did you use for that tournament?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Suggestion:

Can we get an option to set a default name for human? It would be nice not to always have to type your name in.
