apologies for the bug name. at one point, i could not find AUTO RESPOND, as the icon/image/button was hidden by other icons/buttons/images, and it wasn't obvious AUTO RESPOND was there until i decided to try moving those icons/buttons/images around... true title: UNABLE TO PLAY AGAINST ENGINE thanks :)

where is auto respond?

How can I improve the speed of Opening Book Tree? I am running an opening book using an indexed database of about 5 million games. The speed of search is really bad and takes up to 5 minutes to search. Is there any way to improve this?

The ChessX Wiki on SourceForge says "Compiling the source is simple. Just unpack the sources, go to source directory (chessx) and execute: lupdate chessx.pro qmake make" Is there a command-line compiler I can run in the Windows OS to execute those commands? Instead of installing and learning how to use the Qt Creater IDE?

I know that there is (was?) a Qt extension of Visual Studio, but I haven't used it for years now. At least this extension is required for handling the moc'ing and the language specific handling of the sources. As this extension was always kind of tricky, I would prefer the Qt Creator for compiling chessx.

I am trying to compile ChessX in Visual Studio on Windows. I installed the Qt library package into Visual Studio. I cloned the ChessX source code repository from Github into Visual Studio. Visual Studio does not accept chessx.pro as a valid project file, even after I rename it to chessx.proj. I opened chessx.pro in an edit window and tried to compile, but I get multiple compiler errors related to CMake. I could not find a qmake file. I tried opening a command prompt window in the source directory...

I have solved it but it was complex. For information : Needs to go in keyboard and mouse parameters access & authorisation and logitech software access authorisation probably modified by software update. I would have like an additional features on chessX : counting on side panel, the list of pieces black & white captured or alternatively the numerical advance or decline by conting the pieces value balance. Thanks in advance. Le 4 mai 2025 à 22:20, Groucho groucho@users.sourceforge.net a écrit : [bugs:#358]...

I bought my son a M2 Mini so if he let's me onto the device, I might compile a ARM64 version. There is next-to-nothing Intel specific so I don't expect any issues at all (there is one method in the bitboards where I use some assembly, but there is a C-Code version in the sources to use ChessX on non-Intel platforms)

local syzygy

I have no plans for integrating local databases: they are too small to be really useful and there is no API available to access them. You might use a local Stockfish to access the local copy - syzgy was originally developed for stockfish.

Yes, it's WINDOWS 11. In general, just as an idea, maybe it makes sense to make an "update" option for the program? Because, as far as I understand now we just need to uninstall and install it back after each new version.

At 1) I know, part ofthe problem is the Qt WIdget which is representing HTML not completely correct. I want to fix it with a new widget or a widget based on a different base class At 2) Thanks for finding this, I'll look into it.
-
It seems that problem is even more important, I thought that maneuvers are coded well, but it seems 1.6.2.0 version adds a wrong comma to maneuvers as well and it incorrectly looks as, say, { [%cal ,Ge4d5] } It definitely has to be fixed

Problem is allegedly solved by deleting the AppData folder left after the previous versions. But I still don't find it normal that previous versions intalled affect the newly installed version. Still looks like semi-bug at the very least

but when analysing, the piece moving pretty lag to follow my mouse. Can you fix it and add a small feature. An option to slective "just analysis this site". It's like after i chose black, it only analyse black turn, when it's white turn it just auto turn off the engine.

There is a selection list in the Annotation pane. I actually do not like modal dialogs as they intercept the flow when strolling through a game. You can also switch through parallel lines by pressing and <up> or <down> to get to the next / previous variation.</down></up>

Hi, At least I see that chessx runs OOTB on Ubuntu 24.4 with Gnome + X.Org. AFAIK there is a lot of software that doesn't work (well) under Wayland. So at least there is a simple workaround. In any event, this would be relevant for whoever builds the apt package for chessx. /Ejner Den lør. 10. aug. 2024 kl. 15.52 skrev Munzir Taha munzir@users.sourceforge.net: This is Ubuntu and I just did apt install chessx.

Ask which move when multiple are posibble

The tablebases are used online: whenever the tablebase enters a known position, the result and the moves are automatically shown in the Analysis pane #1 (even if no engine is running). Currently searching is indeed an issue in textbase format - at least, if the database is above the limit where it is not loaded into memory (see Preferences->Database->Edit PGN files smaller than). But as I am not too familiar with database design, I have not delved into the design of a new format. Especially now that...

Gertjan Brouwer posted a comment on ticket #353
The 5 piece tablebase is approx. 1GiB which imo is reasonably, while 6 pieces is 150Gib which indeed is too large for most. Is there already an option to use these? Since I might have missed this then. My reasoning for a different database format is speed. A Find position with ChessX in Caissabase (3G) takes many minutes. I suppose this is due to storing it as PGN. Are CQL supported now? and would implementing those differ for PGN vs. any other format? My intention would in the end be to have functions...
-
I am using Sygy online as the offline bases are far to large for any reasonable computer. As to the internal database format: I was thinking of using a open source file based database but as it has to be available in all major platforms and I'm not a database designer and it has to be really fast in the end probably supporting cql queries in user friendly manner (otherwise - why have an internal formmat?) I have not really started to implement anything. If you want to implement something - just copy...
-
Yes this works, thanks. Is there any intention to support Syzygy tablebases and using a different database format instead of PGN and would you want me to work on either?

ChessX is inefficient when making moves on very large games

Indeed loading the game takes a short time (I guess, it's the notation widget (=HTML generator and document browser) which stalls a bit) but once loaded, I can see no real delays.

The parser used to use the blank as token separator. Most of the "blank" issues should be gone in the upcoming release. Note that I trim all leading and trailing spaces from comments though. And also notice, that multiple spaces do not become visible in the game notation within ChessX (even though they are saved and can be seen in the comment dialog box) as ChessX uses a HTML browser to display the notation - the browser contracts multiple spaces magically. If you still find issues in the upcoming...

Did you compile with QT_QPA_PLATFORM set for wayland and did you install the wayland plugins into the plugins folder? There should be at least 3 directories for wayland in plugins.

I have no idea what wayland is - my reference platforms are Mac Os, Windows 10 and a out-of-the-box Ubuntu. I can't test all the different Linux, FreeBSD and the like. Looking at the original post, I guess there is a wayland-egl library missing on your computer or your application build.

I don't understand why this bug is rejected. I am using Arch Linux currently not Ubuntu, the bug is valid and chessx won't start in wayland

Clean pgn files to normalize the pgn's

N'ChessX 1.6.2 will contain automatic BOM detection and more changes to the parser. Also you can set a file to dirty with the context menu allowing it to be saved adter reading the file. I hope that this addresses your issues with PGN

What do you mean by 3D chess pieces? Do you mean pictures of pieces that look "3D", or do you mean a chess board with pieces that can be rotated in space? Are you talking about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYhGvBoWNA8 ?

@Jeremy I think that's a great idea. I implemented it. You can see my work in this PR: https://github.com/Isarhamster/chessx/pull/101 This works by spawning several engines at the same time, each given one move in the game, limited to one thread, and with one second to analyze its position. Here's what it looks like in action: https://imgur.com/a/4uIZO9S There are several improvements that can be made (visually, more options, etc.), but I think I'll let the maintainer review my work and see what...

This does not happen on Mac OS nor Windows. You should switch to a newer version of ChessX as 1.4.6 is so stale, that I can't even really compile it anymore. Use Qt5 to compile with Linux, see my remarks on Qt6 (https://sourceforge.net/p/chessx/wiki/ChessX%20and%20Qt6/)

Analysis Window: Engine MultiPV settings ignored

Modified the checked in version: If an engine has MultiPV set > 1, then this value is used. Otherwise, the GUI value is used (which is probably what most users will use - I bet 99% of users have never touched the engine option dialog.

Michael Brown posted a comment on ticket #222
I have looked back at ChessX 1.5.7 and the the engine-specific MultiPV option was being ignored in the Analysis window in that version, so this behaviour is not something that was introduced in version 1.6. It is annoying to set up MultiPV options for ones favourite engine(s) and then find that MultiPV has to be set to > 1, if desired, every time the Analysis window is run. May I please ask you to think again about changing the program to use the MultiPV engine setting.
