To BrendanJNorman: I guess on your computer BSG crash not only by re-arranging windows but for other situations (thus you could not use it), is it correct? If yes, please tell me more details. Thanks again.
Not sure buddy.
I have a feeling it's related to the engine info/PV window, but I'm not sure.
Also, sometimes tournaments simply don't start. Especially gauntlets.
Another issue is that sometimes when I've set it to load from PGN, it simply doesn't and engines start from move 1.
I like this software VERY much, so I have no problem waiting for you to tackle the bugs.
Let me know if you need more information about them. Maybe I'll make a screencapture video to show you the issue/s.

Clearly BSG of you both got crashes. However, I can't reproduce even I have tried on a few computers. On my very weak laptop, it becomes so laggy when I re-arrange windows (showing multi-playing games) but did not crash.
- Did BSG crash when it is showing tournament's playing games (select Open & view) or not?
I don't think so, I cannot even find Open & view.
- Did BSG crash randomly or after doing a certain action?
1. Randomly - run a tour and it will sometimes crash.
2. When rearranging windows while tournament is running it will crash too.
- Fixed bugs: almost all known bugs so far such as draw adjudication, opening in sequence for Gauntlet tournaments. The most important one is to reduce significantly graphic laggy when tournament’ games playing
- Some small improvements/adjustments
- New features:
* Support more for Syzygy EGTB: checksum and download
* Sound: speech moves
* Click to an empty cell to make move (if there is only one piece can move to that cell)
Notes:
- The graph logarithmic scale is just a test. I am not sure if it is good nor useful. Please try and tell me your thoughts.

A couple of questions:
- When picking up a piece to move it, can you add an option to not make the piece larger while it is moving? It is distracting for me.
- When I open a game in a database and then want to start a new game, BS assumes it is the last players from the db that are playing. For example, I choose to look at a game between Leko and Kramnik. I then click on File>New Game and those same players are shown as playing the current new game. I then have to click on the players name to change to Human and an engine. It would be nice if new players are assumed to be Human and the last engine used.
Most of the work thus far seems to be fine tuning BS for engine v engine matches. And it is now looking like a great tool for that use.
Now I'd like to see features for player v engine and analysis functions.
Feature Request: Implement Replay training or Training Mode - This is much like Chessbase's Replay function where a user loads a game from a database. Then move by move he/she tries to predict a move for one side; white or black. This will teach user how his/her role model player thinks in various positions.
Also when you load a game, you can play a move. If it is not the one of the game you get a pop-up saying 'Incorrect move', and the entered move is ignored/taken back. If it is the move of the game, the move is accepted, the move of the opponent is played automatically, and you can start guessing the next move.

Thanks for suggestions. I have added them to my TODO list!

Thanks for the request. It is interesting and perhaps not too hard to implement. I will do it soon.

I hope that you not forget my little suggestions from the past with the following feature requests, please can you add:
-Possibility to let two or more engines (like SF & Komodo) calculate more in deep at one fixed chess position, in order to compare their analytical outputs. (With that feature you distinguish from all other chess GUIs!)
-Open larger pgn files (e.g. from TWIC) and search for typical database functions (position, opening, player names etc.) in it
-Possibility to open chess database/book tree Formats (cbh and ctg) from Chessbase like it is planned in the new Hiarcs Chess Explorer version 2 (http://www.hiarcs.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9768)
Great thanks and please go ahead with you nice GUI! I would be very happy to see the new features in the next release…-:)
