We made a separate Chessgate Karpov UCI :


It uses the Karpov personality layer and opening book , the engine underneath is the lineachess engine from https://playchessgate.com/lineachess/

Hi everyone, a quick update:

- Frank Marshall now plays at www.playchessgate.com as well! https://playchessgate.com/legends/marshall
- You can now start a game fast by firing up the "Legends Lottery": accept the challenge in two clicks and off you go.

- We are building a "Pawn Soul Heatmap" system that visually represents persona-based pawn-structure patterns and instincts. Through a new visual memory system it will also feed into the move-selection process. This one is still in development.

Image

- There is now also a page at https://playchessgate.com/rate-yourself where you can test yourself and get a rating after working through a set of historical games. This Test Methodology was provided to us Spacious Mind, to whom we owe eternal gratitude.

We are also developing a Chess analyst Suite for the LINEACHESS platform https://playchessgate.com/lineachess/ , Lineachess Analyst Suite 1.0, that will incorporate some groundbreaking Test Suites and Strength calculation Methods, also with heavy involvement form Spacious Mind !

Image

We will update you on the release of the LINEACHESS Analyst Suite 1.0 in the future .

Best regards

Arne

Looking forward this weekend to trying the new "Rate Yourself" option, which looks intimidating for a 1300 (on a good day) player like me but fun nonetheless. Thanks for all the work on this project.
