Banksia GUI released

[AlexChess]

The guy says that is a waste of time to share chess infos with most of Talkchess users. due to their fake modesty and low respect for others opinions and different skills. The guy also says that he is returned to private offline tests of his modded GPLv3 engines publishing them only BanksiaGui forum

Can I ask for the exact link where it is?

Pham, as always I'm available to support you betatesting the next BanksiaGui builds when availables. The linux build 0.58 rc1 works very well on Ubuntu 24.04

For who could be curious, I've completely stopped my online chess engines tests, continuing to study all engines FOR MYSELF (Stockfish and originals) on Linux. Chess forums are full of PROFESSIONAL HATERS. Even skilled developers are impossible to contact, since due to their EGO they heavily offend who likes this hobby and would simply learn from them.

Dear Pham,

I found an error in BanksiaGUI concerning the CECP/Winboard protocol. As per winboard specifications, when the protover 2 command is issued, the engine should respond with feature done=0 followed by a number of feature settings and terminating with feature done=1.

If the engine issues as one of the features feature ping=1, BanksiaGUI enters in a loop not recognising the engine as a WB engine.
Omitting the feature ping=1 is the only option I found to make BanksiaGUI recognise the WB protocol.

Best regards.

Thank you very much for the bug report. It has been fixed for the next version!

Recently I have been working on computer chess very actively and intensively. All my publishing chess projects have been being reviewed. I have also purchased a new PC for their works. BSG’s new versions will be released very soon!
