Banksia GUI released

[AlexChess]

Awesome release !!!

+1
I like that I can choose which games to play first, so I select always all the games of only one engine at a time, quickly having his ranking. I cannot do that with Arena!
I like that i can customize every colour, font and layout of a superlative graphic UI.
I like that it doesn't restart again and again the same aborted game, like Arena does very often
I like that I can easy fix crashes, repeating the game.
I like that I have nice crosstables together with ELO and tech values about nodes calculated.
I like that I can choose between multiple stats.

...And this only related to what I'm using between huge BSG available features

Thanks for the new release. Seems that is is still not possible to make moves within a running on-the-fly analysis.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Paste a fen position to the board with Ctrl-V
2. Start On-the-fly analysis selecting two engines (I tested with RubiChess and Stockfish 14). Both engines calculating on the positions Engine info tab shows pv and score with increasing depth and board shows arrows for the preferred move.
3. Now make an arbitrary move on the board. Engine info stops. Seems that the analysis is stuck or something. I have to stop and restart the On-the-fly analysis to get engines infos back.

Keeping the analysis running while going back and forth in the move list (with variations possible) would (for me) be the most important feature.

Looks like the .json files now are saved without "newline", so it's all just 1 huge long line, which really makes impossible editing.
Is this intentional or a bug?

Hi phhnguyen,
I have started a new tournament from scratch, but seems that crosstables and results are wrong:

6=games 5=score


5=games 5=score


5 & 6 =games 4=score


no draws games reported


Best regards, AlexChess

Hello mister phhnguyen


This project is getting better and better.
Maybe something for the todo list.
Analyze on the website of TCEC-Chess
additional engines analyze the running game live.
Could this be set up under Banksia too ?
Since I also test weaker engines, that would be
a great feature .


Best regards
and all the best to your family

Could you send me files banksiaplaying.json and banksiatour.json for checking? Thanks a lot

Hi!

I have more versions... Looking for the last one.



Last versions are very little and seem unrelated with the actual tournament (I don't test ethereal 13.00 anymore)

Tournament still not avalaible in Recent Tournaments

You may do with the following steps:
1) Open PGN game from URL
2) Give it the live URL of TCEC, tick the box "live PGN"

BSG will open the live game and auto frequently update it. Now you may turn Analyse on the fly, using one or several engines. Those engines will be updated whenever the board changed.

Try it and tell me if you need more or other things

Hi phhnguyen,

These are the scores shown during tournament:



And these are the true scores when I export all played games and reimport them for stats:
