Banksia GUI released

[BrendanJNorman]

it would be nice to see an option: '' Create Engine''.

BSG has functions to add engines but not create. Can you tell me more? Thanks

I think he means that when you change UCI options (contempt, evaluation options, polyglot book, etc) it'd be nice to be able to "save as" a new instance of the engine, rather than have to always enter your values manually.

I'd also be interested in this feature too.

I am a bit confused. Do you mean it is a kind of "duplicate" function? Do you want to create several configurations/records of a given engine?

Yes, I think that is what they mean. For Example LC0 Configs One for One GPU and another for Two GPU's. As of right now I just use two directories for LC0 and install the engine twice and give them names like LC0 1GPU and LC0 2GPU. Otherwise I would have to keep modifying the config for LC0. I guess I could also just modify the Json Config for LCO and create a duplicate entry and give it a different name with different settings.

I found a small issue with ECO index, in the game below the game started as a Kings Indian, but later transposed in a Grünfeld, yet ECO did not detect it in the Notation window.

Thanks! The function (copy/duplicate engines) will be added for the next release.

For the current version, you may create several "new" engines from a given engine (same path). When adding a new engine, just re-select that path of the engine and give (manually) them different names.

Thanks a lot for the report.

I am working on this issue. However, I am struggling to find which Grünfeld it is. Can you give me ECO and/or the full name of the opening? Thanks.

Sure! ECO is D85 Exchange Grünfeld

Ahh, Thanks that is good to know.

Hi, if possible, an option to "turn off the machine after the tournament".

Thanks!

From my document, I have found 2 openings D85:

Code: Select all

[ECO "D85"]
[Opening "Gruenfeld"]
[Variation "exchange variation"]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 *

[ECO "D85"]
[Opening "Gruenfeld"]
[Variation "modern exchange variation"]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 Nxc3 6. bxc3 Bg7 7. Nf3 *

To find ECO for a given game, I try to match all positions of that game to the list of last positions (not move sequences) of ECO sample games.

All the above ECO games have not any castling moves when your game has (count to the end of move 5). That is why your game can't match to them.

Perhaps do I miss some D85?

Sure! And thanks for an interesting idea!

That function will be in the next release. It works well for MS Windows. However, I have trouble getting privileges (for shutting down) on other systems (Linux, macOS) thus it may delay (or never if it is too complicated) for those systems.
