Banksia GUI released

[cpeters]

Latest BanksiaGUI misbehaves under iOS 14.5 on an iPhoneSE:


-it does not rotate, so certain things are not readible
-is there an option to specify which information (depth, nodes, time) get's printed/inserted in the pgn and in what form (ms vs seconds, nodes vs knodes..?




-Options and Level menus are borked, in the sense that they slide to the red line and automatically back (within a second or so). If one is comically fast enough, one can change the Level (playing against comp/etc).

Wishlist: please print/insert in pgn also the thinking time for the human side whilst playing against the comp (in min:ss format preferably).


Thanks+Greetings

I have a WD My Book DUO 20TB external HDD in await for syzygy adjudication working as i would like it to do. I have all files downloaded and verified.

There is no hurry but hope that a solution to this will come soon.

Wow, so huge HDD!!! Is that a SSD one? I have no patience to download all Syzygy 7 men anyway

If you could help, please test BSG with adjudication of 7 men. I have never tested that ability myself. Thanks

It's a hard disk drive, the old fashioned one.

Of course i'm going to test it, as long the adjudication parameter don't overlap or becomes the egtb path for engines during search. This was a issue i reported some time ago, you probably remember that one. I wanted that the adjudication path function solely for egtb adjudication.

Suggestion: Can we change the analysis output to Standard Algebraic so that it matches the notation or set it to whatever is selected under 'Move list/PGN' in settings?

One more suggestion! When using Lichess Bots, can we have and option to display the local Bot on the bottom. This way we can view the game from our engines point of view and not have to rotate the board.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for version 41. Another idea, Anyway I just was wondering if there is some way to make possible the use of Hiarcs Opening Books inside of the Banksia GUI as a optional opening book choice.

Thanks in advance.

It would be an interesting feature! Only Hiarcs engine is able to use HCS book inside Banksia GUI (Hiarcs engine uses it internally via UCI commands). It would be nice if Banksia will be able to use those books, but it will only work as a GUI book, so those moves have to be played by GUI, not by engines, because other engines does not support HCS books. Many of them support only bin books. The same feature could be done with CTG books. It would be better to use Hiarcs CTG then Hiarcs HCS, because HCS only contains moves without statistics, but CTG version contains also statistics.

There is a serious bug in Lichess bot feature. Whenever my bot start with a black pieces, my engine does not make any moves. Then game is aborted after 60 seconds. Engine only plays moves when engine starts with white pieces.

May I ask what engine you are using or it does not matter? I have only used LC0 (GPU) and it seems to work okay under Windows 10 Pro.

It happens for Deep Hiarcs 14 WCS, Shredder 13, Rodent IV and Komodo Dragon. When I use Banksia v29, it works fine.

Is it possible to add another field called "tbhits" in the column?
Thanks.
