ChessGUI 0.098

[Graham Banks]

Matthias - is it possible to make ChessGUI select a new opening line at random for each new game as opposed to each new cycle of games?
If this is an easy enough option for you to implement, I'd really appreciate it.

Regards, Graham.

Easy to implement, though maybe an unfair option .

I'd still appreciate it as an option. It makes viewing tournaments more interesting.
Pretty please?

One other small question Matthias. Is it possible to have the pgn output in the format that Chessbase GUIs use?
The only reason that I ask is that CCRL uses the statistics produced for various purposes.
If this isn't possible, no problems. Your efforts are appreciated regardless.

Pushing my luck regards,
Graham.

Old or new Chessbase pgn format ?
Do you know which features of that pgn format the CCRL uses ?

Matthias.

New format is preferred.
As to the features used, I know that Kirill likes as much information as possible in the pgn - time taken, evaluation, expected move of opponent, etc.
Probably not being overly helpful I guess? I'll show you what the pgn looks like below.
I think that ChessGUI provides all the necessary info, but it's just the format that's a problem at present.
Kirill is very pushed for time since the birth of his first child and still hasn't organised our scripts to derive the necessary information from the Arena pgn yet, so if we could get it from ChessGUI through your assistance, we'd all be very grateful.
However, as I said, if it's a big task, I understand if you'd prefer not to.

Regards, Graham.

It is not possible for me to test ChessGUI 0.102 today nor tomorrow.
I uploaded it anyway.

ChessGUI does not yet convert predicted move to SAN notation.

Good things take time, but ChessGUI is getter better all the time. I'd really encourage others to give it a go.
Matthias deserves some support and feedback.
