PyChess 0.12rc4

gbtami · Post by **gbtami** » Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:39 am

We're pleased to announce, that a new PyChess Anderssen 0.12 rc4 has been made available. In most cases rc4 should contain only final fixes, but after rc3 we faced that fixing random crashes and freezee is nearly impossible. (It was caused by using old/deprecated way of pygtk threading.) So we decided to rewrite all our code in the supported way. At the same time we started to port PyChess to Python3 and John Cheetham started to port PyChess to Gtk3 too. After merging these branches it opened the way to support Windows (the old/deprecated threading mode was never supported on Windows). Finally with the help of Leonardo Gregianin PyChess now has experimental Windows support! (No installer yet.)

Some other new variant support was implemented too:
ASEAN, Makruk(Thai), OukChatrang(Cambodian), Sittuyin(Burmese)
King of the hill
Three check

Other minor enhancements:
Adding Windows engines on Linux
Auto save games
Auto adding engines if they ship .eng files

How to run this in windows 7?
I have downloaded the file pychess-0.12rc4.tar.gz, unpack then run the setup.py and I got this.

Code: Select all

C&#58;\Users\Intel\Downloads\pychess-0.12rc4\pychess-0.12rc4>setup.py
ERROR&#58; PyChess in Windows Platform requires to install PyGObject.
Installing from http&#58;//sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32

C&#58;\Users\Intel\Downloads\pychess-0.12rc4\pychess-0.12rc4>

But nothing was installed.

Now I am downloading pygi-aio-3.14.0 from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32", will this program not mess up my python 2.7.6?

No, it will not.
Don't forget to select the components listed in INSTALL in pychess-0.12rc4.tar.gz

Thanks but I don't like installing this pygi-aio. It is offering me so many options, that I don't understand.
I will check/research this software later.

There is an issue with frc castling, in case the rook don't move it disappears from the board:
