I'm really happy about a new version. But unfortunately an annoying bug is still there:

- when finishing a game at FICS and I close the game Window via the Windows "X" button, Pychess crashes

when I use the "Game -> Close" menu instead, it's all fine

My System: Ubuntu Gnome 15.10, 64 Bit

Thx for the report! Is it reproducible? If you start from console do you get any traceback?

Can you create a screenshot and mark somehow what "x" button you are talking about?

[styx]

1. it is reproducible (happens every time)
2. I marked the X Button in the screenshot
3. the terminal does not state any errors (in fact, no output at all) when pychess crashes/closes itself


*edit* I wonder if it's not even a bug. Maybe it's just how you close pychess. And maybe it's just because I'm used to the behaviour, that closing the game window will take you to the FICS lobby

Ah, I see now. That "x" is the application main window closer. To close individual games you should click on game tab "x" instead. (Next to the player-player[gameno])

[styx]

oh right. just like I guessed! sorry!

I guess I found a real bug after all:

When I play against the computer, sometimes the computer move is not shown on the board. I have to press "move forward" to actually see this move and to be able to play on

Frequency: around 1x per game (sometimes more, as in the video)

Wow, nice catch. Filed as https://github.com/pychess/pychess/issues/1180
Thx!

Auto promote to queen option in preferences

Wouldn't 'detour under-promotion' as I use in XBoard be a better solution than the rather rigid 'auto-promote to queen'? People would normally always get queen, but would have at least the option to get something else through an unnatural mouse movement, when the need occasionally arises.
