Hi, I made a Polyglot book from a pgn game database, but when I open it in the Opening Tree tab, the score for all moves is 50%. I wanted something similar to what is presented when I chose the Lichess master database book, that shows the number of games and score for each move. Did I create the book incorrectly? I did not select the "uniform probabilities" option. Thanks! |

The PGN specification does not allow adding a variation to the end of a game. But you can achieve the same effect on two ways: Either 1) You enter the last move of the game again while pressing ALT-Key. You can see in the status line that it says „Force adding a variation“. Or 2) You add a null-move to the end of the game and enter your variation as a variation of the null-move. Both ways are compatible with PGN.

Basically I want to list a bunch of moves at the end of the pgn file, but I don't want those moves to be the Main line.

Hello, I really love your ChessX application. I use it a lot and I appreciate yalls hard work. I was curious if there was a way to "Force Variation?" Basically I want to list a bunch of moves at the end of the pgn file, but I don't want those moves to be the Main line. So that when viewing a pgn, one has the option to see the continuation of moves but those are featured as a variation rather than the main line. Thanks guys love your application. Andrew |

I noticed ChessX crashes every time when searching large databases with 240000 or so games. This is due to typedef short MoveId; In gamex.h When I changed the definition of MoveId to typedef int MoveId; The crashes go away. James Coons |

Dear Chessx-Users, it has been a while since we posted a release. Alas, here it comes: https://sourceforge.net/projects/chessx/files/chessx/1.5.6/ <https://sourceforge.net/projects/chessx/files/chessx/1.5.6/> Eugene Rysaj contributed huge amounts of code and refactoring, making it possible to import SCID-Databases into ChessX and Luigi Baldoni patiently helped me with the Linux archives. Many thanks!!! You can find the sources in a new location: https://github.com/Isarhamster/chessx <https://github.com/Isarhamster/chessx> Have fun with ChessX Jens |

There are two things you can do: 1) You can grab the handle that separates the board and the annotation / list of variations and pull it completely down to the edge of the application. It will snap and stay hidden. 2) You can go into training mode (hide both sides) - the button with A++ on it - then all hints are hidden. BUT: There was a bug in version before 1.5.6 - I forgot to hide the variations in the box below the board view. This is already fixed in the repository and will be fixed in the upcoming 1.5.6.

Hi all, is there a way to show or hide the box with the variants ? ( in this example bxc4 Txd8 )? It would be very usefull while discussing a game whit students and not show the future possibilities saved in the notation.

If you refer to the initial dialog offering to load a database from the internet: This download is broken as sourceforge changed the address of the files and I didn’t implement folling a referral in ChessX. This will be changed in the upcoming release.

There is a slider on the bottom right of the GUI - push it to the far right for longer timeouts / search depth or to the far left for infinite analysis.

I would really appreciate your help in how I can fix it. When I run stockfish on it, stockfish only runs for like 3 seconds or for a depth of 20 and then stops.

*Hello, I would like to propose my help with the translation of ChessX into Spanish.My native language is Spanish, but I have enough knowledge to understand what ChessX refers to in English, and its respective equivalent in Spanish.* I think it's a great app, and that is why I would like to be able to use it in Spanish and thus be able to share it with fellow Spanish-speaking chess players. If there is a discontinued translation of the app in Spanish, then I would like to give it continuity. *I have never done a translation, but I have knowledge in programming and interface design. And I think I can commit to do this.* Thank you. The app is great <3 |

There is arror "show threat" option , but much more welcomed would be just like in lichess.org arrors showing in real time best moves according to engine currently analising position (1 bigger + 2 thinner) so user can look more at board then on small lines on right (distractive ping-pong left -right of interface now) or even better in chess.com system -showing results of engine work attached to pieces on board some mix of both systems would be best/ideal |

Hello Jerome, a principle solution is described well at https://jerrygreenblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/linux-stockfish-chess-engine-as-remote-service/ <https://jerrygreenblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/linux-stockfish-chess-engine-as-remote-service/> And where it says Arena on the Client, just replace Arena with ChessX Chessbase or SCID, it doesn’t matter. Not that you need to install Plink from putty, this important sentence comes at the very end. The difference to your setup: The server hosting the engine is a Linux server, not Windows. Thus you would need a xinetd which for example can be found in Cygwin. See for example https://superuser.com/questions/89920/execute-program-on-port-connect-to-windows <https://superuser.com/questions/89920/execute-program-on-port-connect-to-windows> Haven’t tested this but it all sounds reasonable.

Hello, I am a coach and player passionate about chess and computer science. I would like to have your help to solve a small problem that I could not solve, even after hours spent on the internet, on forums etc ..... I would like to check my personal analyzes using a "multi-core super-calculator". That is to say from a portable machine with double heart (of low configuration), I wish to control remotely an engine of the type uci installed on another Windows machine more beefy with 4 hearts for example, AND also be able TO USE IN SAME TIME THE OTHER HEARTS of the other machines available on my personal network type 192.168.x.xx, making sure to use a single uci motor installed on one of the machines. I will thus remote control a machine with a chess engine with eight or twelve hearts for example, which is thus very interesting compared to my basic portable machine with two hearts !! I will thus have better precise and important results for strategic plans. I hope you understand what I want to be able to achieve. I thank you in advance for your kindness and your help.

Dear users of ChessX, I have just updated ChessX to version 1.5.4 which you can download from https://chessx.sourceforge.io <https://chessx.sourceforge.io/> (Note: New location so that we have https!) I already got some feedback regarding the use of new API functions from Qt for Unix users, therefore the tar.gz is slightly modified (avoiding QList::swapElementsAt and Qt::endl). Also I did not correctly remove stale translations from the binaries. At the same time I am writing this, a very annoying bug inside Qt has been reported as fixed- this will be part of Qt 5.15 and 5.16. Once either of them is available, I will post an update. In the meantime, dragging links from ChessX to other applications it not working. I hope, you like the new features. Enjoy chess and ChessX while staying at home Jens P.S. Regarding stale translations: Perhaps someone wants to update his or her language file? Follow the instructions on https://sourceforge.net/p/chessx/wiki/HOWTO%20Translate/ |

Hello, I would like you to add an additional function in future versions of chessX. I would like to be able to go to FICS and play with my DGT usb chessboard (wooden chessboard board) connected at the same time, play in real time. I am aware of the work to be done, but playing on a dgt chessboard is the future, and is approaching real tournament conditions. Can you please keep me informed regarding the progress of the project and your intentions ? Currently, it is possible to play on the internet and the dgt usb via a smartphone or a Linux, MAC OS or windaube computer. I'm on linux mint. I like linux, which is fast, reliable, bug-free, etc. Thanks in advance. Regards, -- Jérôme LAURENT 07 86 08 19 25 |

There already is a dark mode: Look into Settings / Appearance / Dark Theme. You can make the dark theme look better by changing the Settings/Game/Colors/MainLine to White.

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <font size="+1"><font face="Liberation Serif">Hi there, I recently discovered your program and like many of its features and clean interface. :) Several features aren't found in other programs I've tried, and one in particular has caught my attention. The "Show covered squares" toggle buttons create a board display that, I think, could be modified so that game pgn's of the Dark Chess variant could be viewed. I like the variant, but I can only view my games on the site I play at. And once the game is completed, I don't have any options for viewing the filtered board I saw while playing, only the exposed board like in regular chess. I haven't found any program that understands the altered rules concerning check or the board filtering algorithms (you can visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://itsyourturn.com/t_helptopic2020.html">http://itsyourturn.com/t_helptopic2020.html</a> for more info on that). I wanted to see if this would be something you/your team could develop and incorporate into the program. I am not a developer, but I would happily help test it, of course. I know that there would be time and cost involved in creating this; what would the estimated cost be? I may be able to provide some financial support.<br> <br> Thank you,<br> Crystal Burson<br> </font></font> </body> </html> |

Hello Derek, the first time you start lc0, it takes a while. Move the slider for the time the engine uses to the far right and start the engine in the initial position. Then - wait. Depending on your computer, after a minute or two, lc0 has created an initial file (leelaz_opencl_tuning) with its configuration. From then on, lc0 uses this file at each startup and should work as a charm. Have fun with lc0! Sidenote: If you are using Mac OS, make sure that lc0 has write access to its own folder. That’s where this setup file is stored. If lc0 cannot write to that folder, you can create a symbolic link to a writable location. lc0 handles links correctly.

Hello, I haven't been able to get analysis to display from lc0 in version 1.5 using the same UCI settings that work great in Chessbase. I prefer ChessX for analysis and find Chessbase buggy especially when running infinite analysis for over an hour, so I would very much like to get it working in ChessX, but no setting changes I've tried have worked to get anything to show up. Anyone else figure out how to get this working? Is this a bug? Is asking for compatibility more of a feature request? Thanks, Derek Henry |
