BanksiaGUI

[enrico771]

Hello.
Does anyone here have experience with the BanskiaGUI?
Been trying to get a Swiss tournament played for a while. I've actually already gone through all the settings, but it doesn't work for me. The tournament has already completed its rounds, but the game pairings from round 2 onwards are purely random.
Actually, the best points should play against each other and the lowest points should play against each other. Somehow I can't manage it. Is there a setting option in the json file?

Greetings Enrico

When creating a new Swiss tournament, you should set the box "Seeding" to Random and/or tick the box "First round only".

Hello.

Of course I set it that way.
Nevertheless, from the 2nd round onwards all games start randomly.

Hello.

I would be interested to know if it works for him or if it is generally a bug.

Greetings Enrico

AFAIK, there is no bug on that function. The code is fine and the program works fine on my computers too. When creating a new tournament, you might accidentally set non-random for Seeding box. In that case, BSG sorted and matched games by strengths/results of engines (not random).

BTW, bugs can happen at any function/place. If you observe again, please report, keep and send me JSON files of those tournaments. Thanks in advance.

Great to see you back. Did you have any plans on the Deep Analysis side of things?

I have been still on/off frequently and posted mostly on the sub-forum "Computer Chess Club: Programming and Technical Discussions".

I have no idea about "the Deep Analysis side of things", especially in the view of a chess GUI. Could you explain?
BSG has a function called "Extreme Chess Analysis". I'm not sure if they have some similar points.

Thanks

Yes I meant Extreme Chess Analysis, I got the name wrong. I was just wondering if you had any plans to develop it further.

I have some Banksia GUI issues:

At the top of the board, it does not show the clock of the side to move.

Is there a way to stop or abort or adjudicate a game?

There is time control like x moves in y minutes + z seconds increment per move. But I don't see a way to set x minutes + y seconds increment per move, which is more standard.

At the top of the board, it does not show the clock of the side to move.

Please ignore the above, which I could fix by changing the background and text colours in the clock.

But found one more bug: Move numbers are starting with 2, for example, 2. e2 e4 3. Nf3 Nc6 ...

I don't intend to hijack another user's thread, but thought it would be ok to report all issues under the same thread. Got interested in Banksia because it seems to support Swiss tournaments, which I came to know from OP's question.
