Banksia GUI released

I noticed something that can be adjusted. The "syzygy adjudication" should be seperate to that of the syzygy path for engines.

I.e. syzygy folder for adjudication and syzygy folder for engines.

As of now the syzygy folder overlaps. The issue is that i can't figure out how to just let engines probe 5-men during the search and let games auto adjudicate at 7-pieces. One section for adjudication and should not interfere with engine syzygy
Maybe i'm wrong.

BSG used to have two Syzygy systems for normal games and tournament games since it has two different JSON files to configure them. However, I realized that may make users be confused, harder to use when the benefit (with two separated Syzygy systems) is so little. Thus we spent some time to merge them into one.

I understand your need and have taken note of that and will review later. Thanks for the request.

The way cutechess gui do it. "Syzygy tablebase path" -> Tablebase adjudication. Once the tablebase location has been added, the checkbox for tablebase adjudication become available.

Syzygy path for engines need to be added manually. This can be argued to be little inconvenient at times but it works.

ATM, you may do similar with BSG: setup Syzygy path manually for engines (don't tick the box Overall option) and set up a different one for Tournament for adjudication.

Yes I have no problem with the cutechess method. It is a simple matter to put the path into the UCI parameters when you create a new engine. (or separate engine ini file where there is one)

I definitely agree. This is a serious issue because the HDD drive where i have 7-pieces stored trumps the SSD engine syzygy path. It results in crashing the program because of the slowness of HDD drives.

Version 0.31 beta released

- Fixed bugs: some small bugs
- Some small improvements/adjustments

• New themes

Notes:
- BSG may look messy/ugly since it changed materials, just select a theme for a fix quick

Thnaks, I love that you added the Logo Section.

Problem with new Themes. White squares should me on the right. They are transposed in the current setup.

So, White Cell: Light and Black Cell: Dark

Hello,

Today I experienced a weird bug when using "Local Network". I was trying to setup a game between Allie+Stein v0.7 vs Eman 5.70. For some reason every time I tried to start the game from my laptop, the Allie engine would not start on my desktop. I was able to start the game from my desktop and all worked as it should on my laptop, just not the other way around. This may be a engine related problem, but I wanted to inform you anyway.
