And just a quick heads-up about a new eye candy, if anyone would care to checkout subversion and test it - as it's not great to be committing code close to release. The mainline and variation arrows, and comment arrows, have been tweaked. Look nice :) but the functional change i have made that needs testing is that they are now "lowered" below the start piece. This required some heavy canvas item raising/lowering to do easily... but hopefully nothing has been broke. Note, the arrow size/length is configurable in the comment editor.

Hi, Just a short notice we'll probably release scidvspc 4.22 this week or so - after i update the changelogs and make the version bumps. If anyone would like to update the "TODO"s in the language files, it'd be great. Cheers, Steven |

Why does the Mac version 4.21 of Scid vs PC not support<br>
<br>
Options/Moves the menu "Show Suggested Moves"<br>
<br>
as under Windows? Missing this feature does not allow to click on
square e4 to enter the move e2-e4 in one step. It is tedious to have
to click on the squares e2 and then e4 in two steps.<br>
<br>
I have installed: Mac 64 bit (beta) <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/mac-64bit-unsupported/ScidvsMac-4.21.x64.dmg/download">ScidvsMac-4.21.x64.dmg</a><br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
K.U.<br>

Here are two (windows) scid.guis. You can download them, then copy them over the "scid.gui" in your windows32/windows64 installs. NB - they may only work with english (not foreign languages) The first is with Pascal's monster of an opening trainer. Play>Training->OpeningTrainer https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scid-4.21-withSCIDsOpeningTrainer.zip/download I don't think this will ever get used / developed more though. The second is basically just a tweak to the tree training feature that enables trial mode when the tree training is enabled and lets you wander back and forth in an opening , responding to user moves, and hiding the tree moves (though game moves *are* still visible if Adjust-Tree is selected and "Next Moves" are shown in the gamelist). It's probably the closest that we'll ever get to an opening trainer, so any feedback about this is welcome. https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scid-4.21-newTreeTraining.zip/download cheers, S.A On Mon, Dec 7, 2020 at 9:22 AM Steve A <ste...@gm...> wrote: > OK, I think what I'll do is pad out the tree training feature with options > for auto take backs and flagging games as completed.

OK, I think what I'll do is pad out the tree training feature with options for auto take backs and flagging games as completed. And "next game" and "retry" buttons in the tree window. S. A. |

Hmmm - just looking back at the mailing list, there have been a few queries over recent years about an Opening Training feature. Sam was very keen to get a polished one going. So - i *did* do a quick and dirty port of SCID's Play->Training->Openings feature to ScidvsPC with the intention of looking at it... but find that hasn't happened. :( (Sorry, but i don't 'do' opening training myself) And now i'm just posting the patch here in case anyone wants to test it out and give some feedback on it. Attached is the patch (against subversion, which includes a Help topic) and a small DB with some shortened games and marked as of type "Openings for White". It's Pascals code, and (naturally ;> ) seems a little confusing/ugly to me.. but i haven't looked at it in any depth. Maybe it could be made useful with some tweaks ? So people are welcome to test it out if they are tech savvy enough to apply the patch... but my hunch is this will just get added to the source code as a patch for the indefinite future. And i have to mention a few related things 1. The *Tree window already has a Training button/feature*, which is even less polished, but also less complicated. 2. I have recently added the ability to "import" lines from the ECO window into the Play->UCI Game feature's opening list. This is another (and perhaps the most polished way- as the game handling logic is already in the Play UCI Game feature) ) to play one's openings... but it is not purely an 'opening trainer' And 3. Maybe someone could *share an existing opening database* , which would suffice to test/use this feature better. thanks, Steven |

Do you think there would be any issues running Scid vs Mac on two (or more) machines and sharing the .scidvspc directory? Thanks in advance! c -- Chris Lott <ch...@ch...> |

Ozkan made up a 32 bit Chess 960 program (thanks Oz). https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows/Scid%20vs%20PC%20960-4.21.exe/download I gave it a quick test and it seems fine. Please give it a test and if there's no issues we'll try to put up a 64 bit version too. Steven. ---------------------------------- PS - Minor changes since 4.21 : Serious game: When using book, leave a comment when book is exited / exhausted. todo: fix ::book::getMove The new 'next moves' feature didn't work for transpositions at differing depths (eg Millbase, Rahman v Carlsen 2008 Olympiad, 9. Bd3). Win/Draw/Loss infos (UCI_ShowWDL - new Stockfish feature). Author Michael Brown/stevenaaus. Add an undo point at the start of every annotation game. Add a (switcher) menu item to show/hide the gamelist buttonbar. Remember arrow lengths/widths (and a minor translation). Batch stripping comments/vars could break the namebase. New namefile/flush code and doco, for batch stripping comments/vars. ECO window colours are no longer blue, and some typos. Nasty hack to make the ECO browser 'Update' button work in a nice manner. Import ECO button - extend the Play-UCI-Engine Opening Trainer to use any line in the ECO Window |

I noticed it after I sent the earlier email. The 960 patch may be breaking something in the UCI (polyglot?) code.

Ok, there is a Mac 960 32 bit version here. Seems to work for me.... but it is not terribly feature complete. Please note, it upgrades (renames) any si4 databases to .si960 - which are then unable to be opened by the normal app. https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/mac/ScidvsMac960-4.21.dmg/download Please don't ask for a 64 bit version. 64 bit Mac Tcl has never worked properly, and imho macOS Catalina and beyond are similarly broken by Apple's dollar/iPhone obsession.

Any chance of an OSX build with 960 support? Every time I've compiled
SCID vs PC/MAC myself it has not behaved well. And I fear I've forever
hosed my TCL/TK or whatever libraries at this point when trying to get
the XFCC functions working.
Thanks in advance,

Just putting up a note - i handled a nasty bug today. Probably it's not easy to hit, because the features involved - batch stripping of comments and variations - are fairly destructive and not used much/at-all on big databases, but on pgn files. Symptom is, on some nasty "names" , batch stripping will leave the namebase / database broken, needing a command line fix with scidt -N. Technically - the bug is caused by our (inherited) abuse of the pgn parser to strip comments and variations. so, say a name like "Kramnik,V" (- no space) will be changed (when reparsed) to "Kramnik, V. *But* we weren't flushing the namebase file, so if you close the base without doing a save/flush, the namebase would be broke. Anyway, we now (in subversion) do a flush with each batch strip, so the problem is "fixed", cough. Except that nasty names will still be changed .- another example of which is having embedded quotes in the name (eg [Event "It "Investbanka""]) I found this bug while writing the Strip notation(s) feature.... which *doesn't* overload the parser, but is a bit of a hack at the moment :) though we'll see how it goes. cheers, S.A |

Dear Steve I understand and respect your decision. I'll therefore just work up two patches: 1. The main game navigation and analysis buttons which I had done before. You can choose to add it as a patch or not. That's upto you. 2. I'll send a PR (or whatever the equivalent is in SVN) for some UI tweaks like adding padding to all the textboxes etc. I'm sure you will like that. Those are added in my new screenshots as well. If you don't like that then let me know. If possible I'd urge you to add some padding to the menus as well. I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Hopefully, then we can work out how to include this as a patch.</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><span class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768defaultfonthxmailstyle><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'> </span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><span class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768defaultfonthxmailstyle><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>Yours sincerely</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><span class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768defaultfonthxmailstyle><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>Aditya Chincholi </span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><span class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768defaultfonthxmailstyle><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'> </span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><div id=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768yqtfd74422><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>From: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><a href="mailto:ste...@gm..." target="_blank">Steve A</a><br><b>Sent: </b>22 September 2020 13:57<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:adi...@gm..." target="_blank">Aditya Chincholi</a>; <a href="mailto:sci...@li..." target="_blank">scidvspc-users</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Scidvspc-users] A New Set of Icons<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div id=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768yqtfd80526><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><span class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768defaultfonthxmailstyle><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'> </span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydp46ec4fd1yiv8330715768msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>Geez, they're very nice.

I didn’t have the setup for compiling it before. Instead of designing my own icons, I have taken icons from Google’s Material Design Icons (released under Apache 2.0 license). They seem to working well. There are a few edges to polish, but it looks good. I am attaching the main.tcl and board.tcl files below. Try it out and let me know if you are fine with it.

Hello, again!
On closer inspection, it seems Phalanx behaves a little strangely, too.
When first asking it to look at a game in progress, it analyses the
standard start position instead, until you make a move, and then go
back. Then, the first move it considers is for the side NOT on the move,
and often enough, an illegal move (like moving the king into check).
After the first line offered, the rest of its' analysis of the position
appears normal.
So, maybe it is more than a UCI/Polyglot problem?

Geez, they're very nice. Cheers.! But there may be a problem with the license, as we are under GPL 2. and here it states https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html > Despite our best efforts, the FSF has never considered the Apache License to be compatible with GPL version 2, citing the patent termination and indemnification I can probably include them as a patch... but maybe more work needs to be done u.e. the engine add-move and add-all-variations icons. (The engine window shares the V+ button from the main buttonbar). Re the alternative add-var icon. Hmmm... unsure about which is better.

I didn’t have the setup for compiling it before. Instead of designing my own icons, I have taken icons from Google’s Material Design Icons (released under Apache 2.0 license). They seem to working well. There are a few edges to polish, but it looks good. I am attaching the main.tcl and board.tcl files below. Try it out and let me know if you are fine with it.

Thanks for the quick response and action!
Using the source for revision 3138 + chess 960 patch + Mr Cramer's
TKText patch (applied in that order), the problem with auto-load on Scid
vs 960 is now fixed!
Another problem persisted, though. I noticed it after I sent the earlier
email. The 960 patch may be breaking something in the UCI (polyglot?)
code. Both Stockfish and Toga behave strangely (giving ridiculous
evaluations, or just not giving an evaluation), while Phalanx behaves
normally. For example, Toga claims an evaluation of ~ +5 in this position:
rnbq1rk1/pp2nppp/4p3/2ppP3/3P2Q1/P1P5/2P2PPP/R1B1KBNR w KQ - 2 8
From personal experience as Black, I know it can be a tough position,
but not +5 :-) !
I compiled regular Scid vs PC from r3138 source (using Gregor Cramer's
TKText patch, but no chess 960 patch), and both Stockfish 12 and Toga
behave normally.
To allow them to coexist, Scid vs 960 is installed in
/usr/local/{bin,share}/, while Scid vs PC lives in /usr/{bin,share}/ .
Okey

OK, this autoload bug is fixed in subversion patch. Cheers for the bug report. OK.. But there are some installation "gotchas". The new gui is "scid-vs-960", but we don't have a new name for the new tkscid.. Which can cause errors, as the new binary and gui must be used together.

Hello, Steven A! I decided to try out the Chess 960 patch, which built "Scid vs 960". I renamed my .s?4 files to .s?960, and can open them normally from the File menu. However, when I "Save Bases as Default", close the program and reopen, the default databases are not opened. The error message at the bottom of the startup window states: "Not loading default bases as file /Chess/huge not readble" (OK, the file path is "slightly" edited. And yes, the spelling typo is real :-) ). I'm running Linux. The database files all have read permission, so I am wondering if Scid vs 960 is still expecting the default database files to end in .s?4, rather than .s?960 ? I am sorry if this has already been addressed, but I could not find it in the mailing list archives. Thanks for all your work on Scid vs PC! Okey |

Thanks for the email. You have some interesting suggestions though obviously i will not be doing many/any/all :) One thing i did get inspired to write is a strip nag feature, which can strip all or specific nags for a game or range of games... hopefully in the next month or two. > ENGINE ANNOTATION: *********** provide option (checkbox ?) to... > - optionally annotate forced moves possibly using appropriate NAG > symbol. An 'F' might suffice. This sounds great, but I have a hunch is far from trivial. Doing *any* work to the annotation feature is a PITA actually. It is a very complicated feature. > - engine could 'remember' how many lines to display at all times, even > at startup and after 'Annotate' feature has run. (99% of the time, I This is already configurable per engine in the engine's UCI configure window (Multiple variations) > - not display '327/327' in engine-annotated games. > - optionally also drop annotation [%draw ?,c6,red] into the pgn if > there's a '?'

The current way to add a specific line is to highlight/copy the variation with the mouse (and maybe type control-c for copy) then edit->Paste Variation, which is more work, but more powerful. > SEARCH / MATERIAL/PATTERNS: ************** > - If there's a 'Save', shouldn't there also be a 'Load'?

Hey Scid vs PC Devs! The icons used in the bar above the main board seemed pretty old and out of resolution. So I made a few icons to replace them.

Since I read somewhere while changing the piece icons that Tk works best with GIFs, I have converted them to 64x64 GIF icons as well.
