Re: Banksia GUI released
Is it technically doable to have a handicap option such as available.
Engine A think during opponents turn
Engine B does not think during opponents turn
So ponder/permanent brain handicap essentially speaking.
The idea is that being able to think on opponents time should compensate considerable for a weaker engine, which under normal circumstances drain more time than the stronger engine.

Just look at feature “Overall options” (on New tournament or Engines tab of Settings dialog boxes). You can see “Ponder” is an option controlled by that feature. By turning on the feature, users can easily to set all engines to have similar options of ponder, hash size, cores/threads since they are the most important ones for having fair matches.
Now if this feature (Overall options) is off, an engine will obey what the users set for its options. You can set manually, freely and with different values for pondering, hash size, cores... for different engines as you want.

Version 0.39 beta released
Version 0.39 beta released
Fixed bugs:
* Analyze on the fly with multi-engines: crashed sometimes
* Fix font for Lc0’s stats table
* Crosstable displayed wrong scores
* Couldn’t verify huge Syzygy files (over 2 GB)
* Local network: did not play
* Lichess bot: couldn’t challenge when the concurrency number is small
* Wrong suggestion to download NNUE files when installing Stockfish
* Might be crashed/freeze because of bugs in graphical functions
Some small improvements
* Faster and more clever parser for Lc0 stats to avoid being laggy and/or freeze when Lc0 creates too much data (if your computer is weak and/or playing a tournament, it is better to turn Lc0 stats off by setting options LogLiveStats and VerboseMoveStats to false)
New features:
* Graph: can setup background; can use engines’ colors; shows multi graph lines for multi-engines when analyzing
* Two PV boards (auto being showed) if both sides are chess engines

Re: Banksia GUI released
Many thanks for new update and the work put into the GUI as a whole.
I wanted to try local network but noticed they don't show up. I guess they have to communicate via cmd.
How do i connect two computers again using RJ-45 connecion via router ?
Both computers is using wired connection.

Re: Version 0.39 beta released
It would be very useful if you can include a benchmark tester for most AMD and intel computer that we can use as standard in your Banksia GUI, instead of using this ==> http://talkchess.com/forum3/posting.php ... 2&p=889081phhnguyen wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 1:19 pm Version 0.39 beta released

Re: Banksia GUI released
You don't need to use any extra program, effort nor special connections/hardware. The requirement is just a "normal" local network, wired or wireless. In my house, all computers are connected to a router via wifi and all work fine.Nordlandia wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 2:24 pm Many thanks for new update and the work put into the GUI as a whole.

Both computers is using wired connection.
Just menu -> Connect -> Local network to display Local network panel as below illustration. Enter any name to the Name box then click on Connect button. All are completely auto. You will see your computer name on the Name column of the table. If there is another computer connected, you should see its name too. You can enter some text into the chatbox below to make a chat. In the figure, my computer named "xzy", chats with another computer named "jane".
You can play both normal games and tournament games, in which engines vs engines, humans vs engines, or even humans vs humans. Engines and the human from computer "jane" will be displayed in the dropdown list of engines, with the prefix "jane:". Just select any and BSG will auto do the rest.

Re: Version 0.39 beta released
BSG has already the function benchmark. It doesn't do benchmark itself but call some engines to do that job. In the below image, I popped up the dialog by menu -> Tools -> Developers -> Benchmark/Cmd, then clicked on Stockfish to run its benchmark. That took a few seconds/clicks only (besides the time running the benchmark).Chessqueen wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 2:29 pm It would be very useful if you can include a benchmark tester for most AMD and intel computer that we can use as standard in your Banksia GUI, instead of using this ==> http://talkchess.com/forum3/posting.php ... 2&p=889081
Of course, you can modify commands to run some useful-frequent commands for some engines.
