For example, I have set the victory award ("Resign by engine scores") when exceeding the "Score threshold" -800 cp for 6 ply "Two sides", but the game is awarded after 12 ply on both sides. It is right?

Can you post the end of those games here to verify? If BSG works correctly, it should rule the games based on 6 half-moves of each side, 6 full-moves, or 12 plies in total.

Score indicator works based on the current score of the engine that is in turn. Some engines may delay printing out scores or print out incorrect scores (in terms of overall situations), especially in hard cases.

You and/or anyone has ideas to improve? Should we use the average score of two sides or last several ones?

Of course, you can publish it with BSG and on your website.
But at the moment the language package is still work in progress (translated 981/4095 words).

Btw. before I registered in this forum I sent you an email to your gmail address with some
tips, suggestions, possible bugs regarding BanksiaGUI. Did you receive this email?

silitho wrote: ↑Wed May 06, 2020 8:46 pm And one more point ... Every time I start Crafty in BanksiaGUI, it breaks after the
first move. The engine log says:

Code: Select all

"banksia> Illegal move c5 from Crafty-25.3"

No matter which move, it is always illegal. When I use Crafty on the command line,
then it works normally. I suspect the problem is with BanksiaGUI. Can you have a look at this?

Thanks for the updates!

first of all, thank you for version 0.24 beta phhnguyen, I have some new feedback regarding this version:

after translation there are some issues regarding the main menu entries:

• About: is now in Windows (not in BanksiaGUI) -> how can it be placed in BanksiaGUI
• Preferences: is now in File (not in BanksiaGUI) and the keyboard shortcut 'cmd,' was lost -> how can it be placed in BanksiaGUI and how can I restore the keyboard shortcut?
• Languages: entries cannot be translated (German -> Deutsch) because there is no text in the language file for these entries
• additional main menu entry "Tournaments" cannot be translated because there is no text for these entries in the language file

and last but not least the translation of some texts will not be displayed because the english source file has changed
-> how can we organize the merge of the new entries in bsg_en.ts with my bsg_de.ts ?

5. The "Score indicator" next to the board is not too sensitive to small changes in the score. It moves noticeably only when the situation on the board is almost hopeless. This is not very convenient.
...
I guess I did not quite express myself clearly. I assumed that it would be nice to limit the range of scores for the “Score indicator”, for example, from -4 to +4, as on chess24.com. Then small changes in the position evalution will be visible. Now, when the range of position evaluation is changing from -10 to +10, the change even by +0.5 is practically not noticeable.

6. If during the tournament you often call up the "Show all plaing games" window, it will appear lower and lower each time. As a result, you need to constantly raise it up. It would be nice to somehow stabilize this window.
