[Scidvspc-users] Immediate Threat, and GCC fix/update

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Ken Brown made a suggestion regarding showing Immediate Threats - to have
an Immediate Threat button in the analysis window.

Showing the immediate threat is a nice idea, but hard/non-trivial to
implement robustly as we already have so many features and arrows
happening. But i have made a modest hack.

Pressing Control-key+Trial-Mode-Button automatically adds a null move while
entering trial mode.
With an engine running, it makes it easier to see immediate threats. This
solution is robust, though not as nice as Ken's suggestion

Also, I have also uploaded a source snapshot as 4.16.1

https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/source/scid_vs_pc-4.16.1.tgz/download
This is due to the newest GCC having a feature change/bug affecting our
make process.

cheers, Steven

This should be fixed in subversion. Either check out code from there,
or remove CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH from the Makefile after running
configure.

Pls email me instead of the mailing list if it is not resolved.

[Scidvspc-users] Book Suggestions & Chinese Translation needed?

[Ashwin S. <hif...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

  

First of all, thanks for doing a great job on Scidvdpc. I've decided to start
using that over Chessbase.

Still, there are many functions that could be tweaked/added of course. I'm not
a big programmer myself, but I could help a bit in the translation department.
Do you need / Is it possible to translate Scid in Chinese? If yes, I could do
that (both simplified & traditional). It would be my very first 'job' on
an open source project ever, so it would be nice if someone explained me how
to start exactly.

  

For the 'book tuning' tool I got a few suggestions. First of all would it be
possible to work with colours (e.g. green for good move, black for unchecked,
red for bad more, blue for interesting, yellow for dubious, etc. I think
that's the system that's used in aquarium, or at least sth similar).

Secondly (and I haven't seen that one before): Is it hard to impletement a
'comment' feature (for adding comments on a certain move)?  I know that
polyglot books were intended for computer chess, but if you could add comments
than they would do more than fine for human books as well.

  

Also, I used to be a fairly decent chessplayer, so if any testing or so I
could help.

Re: [Scidvspc-users] Various stuff

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

For some reason , we did not have a bugs forum, but this is now at
  https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/tickets/
---
I have made some changes to the Fics offers graph.. hopefully it is
more responsive, and bug free.
---
In the engine configuration window (Control-A), the Date field now
represents the Modified time (mtime) of the engine executable. The new
Date will be set when the engine configuration is run.
---
And there's a few shortcut changes in subversion.
I think the new shortcuts are more commonly used than the old ones.
Also, the book window has a toolbar icon, while board options does not.

Control-b is board options (previously book)
Control-B is setup board (previously Board search)
Control-G is general search (previously Control-H)

How about "Control-U"? That's what I have it mapped to on my instance of scidvspc anyways.

Hmmm - it's hard to find a key for this. They're all used.

Hopefully, I fixed up phalanx not restarting

Playing stockfish, the Skill Level should also be shown (in the pgn

The patch worked.  I've already incorporated it into the Fedora build at

Re: [Scidvspc-users] Bug between ScidVsPC and Stockfish

[Gregor C. <re...@gm...>]

Of course, this crash is a severe Stockfish bug, a full.-hearted implementation 
would test the position before analyzing.

But that's not the only issue with Stockfish. Stockfish is designed for reaching 
high ELO ratings, it is doing this with aggressive pruning. In analyze mode 
this aggressive pruning has the effect that Stockfish is often overlooking even 
simple drawing combinations, and other quite obvious things.

For analysis mode alternative engines are of interest, but I don't know which 
engines are the best for analysis. Some years ago (the free version of) Zappa 
was a very good engines for wild positions, but the last release is 2005.

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

I cant see the bug report, even after joining their bugzilla.

But if they are happy to have their app crash with very reasonable
input... i guess we should probably add a safeguard to handle it.
Stockfish does many unfriendly things in a way *no* other engine does.

This should handle it (also attached) and will probably get comitted,
but as my version of SF doesnt crash, i cant test it.

[Scidvspc-users] Bug between ScidVsPC and Stockfish

[Alex W. <al...@un...>]

Hi,

I configured ScidVsPC to use the Stockfish chess engine and noticed an 
issue where Stockfish would crash when asked to evaluate a position 
already in checkmate.  This issues happens frequently if Stockfish is 
running during the checkmate in N training.  Solving the puzzle results 
in a crash.

I filed a bug on the issue at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325013 but the maintainer 
attributed the issue to Stockfish being asked to evaluate an invalid 
move.  Here's the engine log of an example crash:

Engine: readyok
Scid  : position fen 4k3/8/4K2Q/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 3 8
Scid  : go infinite
[...] Engine analysis here
Scid  : stop
Scid  : isready
Engine: readyok
Engine: bestmove h6h8
Scid  : position fen 4k3/8/4K2Q/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 3 8 moves h6h8
Scid  : go infinite
Engine: info depth 0 score mate 0
Scid  : stop
Scid  : isready
Engine: readyok
Scid  : position fen 4k3/8/4K2Q/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 3 8 moves h6h8
Scid  : go infinite
Engine: bestmove (none)
Note: Engine terminated without warning.
Note: Engine terminated without exit code: "\"$standard_error\""

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Scidvspc-users] New piece set

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Thanks for that.

I have made a new directory in the SF file pages explicitly for chess pieces.
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/support%20files/chess%20pieces/
and uploaded the new pieces (and your instructions/script) there.

Of course, the files are a bit all-over-the-place, and could be made better.
SVG makes some great quality pieces, and we probably need an
exhaustive SVG how-to.

cheers, S.

[Scidvspc-users] Auto focus game suggestion

[Maksim G. <ma...@gm...>]

When you double click a game in the game list, would it make sense to
auto-focus the game window? I often expect this and start hitting the right
arrow key, thinking it will start going through the game. Instead I have to
then click on the board window since the game list remains active.

Re: [Scidvspc-users] New piece set

[Alan W. <a.c...@gm...>]

Wonderful! I'll try this later. It would really be nice to have a 
built-in function within the Scidvspc interface itself to generate new 
pieces (sans svg, of course.)

Licenses:

Code:     Same as Scid vs. PC



Script's help text:


H E L P

Create a new piece set to Scid vs. PC.
The outfile should be placed in the
subfolder "pieces" of the user directory.

Use an svg-image as source file.
Inkscape is needed to process the image.

The pieces should be arranged in one row,
in the following order (left to right):

   white
     pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, king

   black
     pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, king


Parameters:
      title:  name of piece set
        out:  outfile
        min:  min piece height            (25)
        max:  max piece height            (160)
       step:  increment from min to max   (5)
        tmp:  name of temporary png-file  (tmp.png)
        ink:  command to run Inkscape     (inkscape)

Standard values in paranthesis.
Standard values of title and out
are made from name of source file.
Place name of source file at the end.

Example:  [...]  title='Paul A' Paul_A.svg

Great. I’ll have a stab.
