1. If you chose to manage the threads/cores of the engines the settings changes don't work. To make them work you have to go to the engines settings and just click on OK (you have to do nothing else, the threads have being rightly set in the engines options, it is only that if you don't do this passage the options seems to get not registered).

I don't know if I'm missing something here (naturally I'm setting the option to manage cores).

2. Changing the colors of the boards do nothing.
1. Maybe there is no bug ? It does not matter which values appeared in config window. Did engines receive wrong values at start of game ?

2. I was aware of that. :wink: Next release will fix that.

I checked with Task Manager. If you don't do what I said the engines will get the max cores they have (in my case 4). It seems that the core management by the GUI has a bug in this version because you have to pass from the engines to let it work.

Either more IIRC the threads option in the singular engines didn't either appear if you did set the GUI to manage them in the old version (0.231) I had, differently from now.

I installed two UCI engines, and re-named them in the top section during the install. The parameters seem to hold, but I need further testing to confirm that. But in the "Refresh Display" section - Actions tab - in Engine Edit menu, the engines do not show as configured, they remain as unconfigured.

I have not yet checked that part of the code. :wink:
Ignore it for now.

Matthias.
Thank you Matthias, this version is really good, even graphically speaking.

Do you see that the white reflection is better in the black pieces?

Best regards, and keep up the good work.

ChessGUI 0.240d is now available and will correctly say which engines are configured.

ChessGUI 0.240e is now available.

- Fair openings in odd rounds are automatically declared fair after switching sides.
- While setting up a tournament, click on engines to see their Elo strengths, if available.
- Swap board colours even during games.
