Thank you, that is a fantastic program you have created. I enjoy the chess problems given a the start of the app.

Re: Lucas Chess new version 11 - problem with Node.js-JSUCI?

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello,

I tried to embed Lozza.js and tomitankChess.js https://github.com/tomitank/tomitankChess into Lucas Chess GUI http://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/ > tick on play > section tools > engines > external engines > new > path to Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/ > then command - file: node.exe

argument tomitankChess.js respectively lozza.js,
but nothing happened, it appears only a green rectangle with 3 cogwheels and the inscription "one moment, please" and the GUI hangs (up) itself.

Same procedure with JSUCI https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsuci/ and rapspeed.js commandline parameter https://github.com/Thibor/Rapspeed/

Can you please try out Lucas GUI with these JavaScript engines too?

Does this interface possess a debug file like Arena, ChessGUI, WinBoard Interface to reproduce what is going wrong during the implementation?

Best wishes,
Norbert

Hi Norbert, I have been able to install them as external engines, since they understand the command uci. But it is impossible to play against them, because they don't follow UCI protocol specifications.
I´ll try to add a log file.
