ChessGUI development suspended.
I have just uploaded ChessGUI 0.192 !
I will now suspend the development of ChessGUI for quite some time.
I hope anyone who dares to use it, will not encounter any problems.
My tests found ChessGUI 0.192 to be optimized and bug-free.
I may now return to chess engine programming.
However, from time to time I will highlight some weird feature of ChessGUI.
Cheers,
Matthias.

Re: ChessGUI development suspended.
Thanks for your tireless efforts to date on ChessGUI.
Perhaps now we can look forward to the possibility of a new BigLion at some stage?

Re: ChessGUI development suspended.
I have just re-uploaded the ChessGUI package with the following book-related
changes:
- ChsGUI_Book.cgb, ChessGUI_Opening_Suite.pgn and HarrySchnapp.cgb have each
been subjected to the following constraints:
1) book is exactly 12 moves deep
2) no duplicates
3) no transformations
4) material at least 1Queen+1Rook+2Bishops+1Knight+5Pawns per side.
These constraints shrink HarrySchnapp.cgb from 58000 to 24000 positions.
ChsGUI_Book.cgb and ChessGUI_Opening_Suite.pgn each have 46000 positions.
- ChessGUI.exe has been updated to apply identical constraints on
ChessGUI_Opening_Suite.pgn and remis books (*.cgb) during book creation.

Re: ChessGUI development suspended.
The initialization of a RoundRobin or Gauntlet tournament with thousands of cycles was pathetically slow.
ChessGUI 0.193 dramatically speeds that up.
ChessGUI 0.192 was already bug-free, so ChessGUI 0.193 is just an optimization .
I may yet try to optically scale ChessGUI differently before pausing the ChessGUI project.

Try importing engines from Arena and tell us here whether that works.IGarcia wrote:downloading....

I have not installed Arena since many years, so I cannot test importing engines from Arena.
I think BigLion is a bit weaker than Stockfish.

If you're looking at running engine v engine tournaments, you won't be disappointed!IGarcia wrote:downloading....
