More encouragement for you to try out ChessGUI

Graham Banks · Post by **Graham Banks** » Wed Jun 04, 2008 8:49 am

Harry Schnapp has just created a book that can used as an alternative to the books that come with the GUI.

Hello Graham,

Exchange in the order GUI DATA the file ChsGUI Book.cgb and you have a 5,28 MB GUI Remis book with 11329 lines instead 1816. I recommend to use it preliminary up to 10 moves.

Regards,
Harry

If there's enough interest and if Harry gives his permission, I'm happy to make the download available through the CCRL public forum.

Latest ChessGUI version here:
http://www.w2410tmq9.homepage.t-online.de/

Huge thanks to both Matthias and Harry.

Is chessGUI the one which had bugs recently here? I have enough trouble with Playchess not working to install something of beta quality.

Well if it's good enough for me to be using to run CCRL tournaments, it must be okay.

Also, if you do find any bugs, Matthias is very quick to address them.

Thanks Matthias for giving the pgn output options in either old or new Chessbase format. Just thought I'd mention that the expected move is not displayed in the output. Not a biggie, but if it's easy to implement, would be useful.

Regards, Graham.

I wish Mathias would implement ICC support that's easier to use even for a monkey like me...
