We made a separate Chessgate Karpov UCI :


It uses the Karpov personality layer and opening book , the engine underneath is the lineachess engine from https://playchessgate.com/lineachess/

Hi everyone, a quick update:

- Frank Marshall now plays at www.playchessgate.com as well! https://playchessgate.com/legends/marshall
- You can now start a game fast by firing up the "Legends Lottery": accept the challenge in two clicks and off you go.

Image

- We are building a "Pawn Soul Heatmap" system that visually represents persona-based pawn-structure patterns and instincts. Through a new visual memory system it will also feed into the move-selection process. This one is still in development.

Image

- There is now also a page at https://playchessgate.com/rate-yourself where you can test yourself and get a rating after working through a set of historical games. This Test Methodology was provided to us Spacious Mind, to whom we owe eternal gratitude.

We are also developing a Chess analyst Suite for the LINEACHESS platform https://playchessgate.com/lineachess/ , Lineachess Analyst Suite 1.0, that will incorporate some groundbreaking Test Suites and Strength calculation Methods, also with heavy involvement form Spacious Mind !

Image

We will update you on the release of the LINEACHESS Analyst Suite 1.0 in the future .

Best regards

Arne

Looking forward this weekend to trying the new "Rate Yourself" option, which looks intimidating for a 1300 (on a good day) player like me but fun nonetheless. Thanks for all the work on this project.

Hi, I would like to train my openings with this, but there is no option of playing games with selected starting positions. I hope at some point you will add this option.

Hello Shahrad,


thank you for your question . Just to make sure , wht product would you like to have the position setup integrated in ?

- playchessgate web
- chessgate desktop
- lineachess windows Chess GUI ?


If you are looking for more Position Setup possibilites I would recommend the Lineachess Analysis Suite , This includes the Spacious mind Chess Strenght rating and is a further development 4.2.9 . I have not made a landing page yet for it since i am on holiday, but it was released on Schachcomputer . info for my friends over there but of course for my friends over here as well :)



hope this helps best regards

Arne
