HIARCS Chess Forums

My mistake the problem is still there. I don't see the issue with other GUIs. For example chessx does not seem to have this issue with stockfish. To reproduce the issue run stockfish on a position. stop the engine, go to another game and stop the engine go to another position and try to restart the ...

I noticed that the lockup which occurs with stockfish when switching databases is now fixed with the latest fix in stockfish. However it seems like HIARCS might be at least partially responsible for the problem according to the UCI protocol definition. The fix states: Search is started after setting...

The open source program ChessX does

When automatically reloading URLs for the recent FIDE Candidates tournament with "Open URL..." I noticed several third party engines seem to show issues that they don't seem to have with opening local PGN files on the Mac. Critter 1.6 crashes. This is pretty repeatable Shredder has issues ...

Here is a short video showing what I mean

Mine is that I tend to work with very heavily annotated games and would like to see more of them at once without having to scroll back and forth. I would like to be able to hide those parts of the GUI I am not concerned with. The Move Indicator takes up a lot of room and most of the time (at least f...

1. My Favorite Feature is the Opening Book feature. It is very well done.
2. Unlike Chessbase, HCE doesn't crash.
3. I can add my own boards.

If you enter the following moves by selecting them with any of the opening books 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 e6 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Bg5 dxc4 6.e4 b5 7.e5 h6 8.Bh4 g5 9.Nxg5 hxg5 10.Bxg5 Nbd7 11.g3 Bb7 12.Bg2 Qb6 13.exf6 O-O-O 14.O-O c5 15.d5 b4 16.Rb1 Qa6 17.dxe6 Bxg2 18.e7 Bxf1 19.Kxf1 Qc6 20.exd8 * The pawn is ...

It seems to be a problem with all of the opening books not just the local one.

I have an idea that you might find appealing. Programmatically you can calculate the width available for the move indicator. It is just the width of the window minus the width of the board.

Can we remove the side to move icon (white or black)?
It will save us some real estate.
And I'd love to be able to rename the engine name in the engine list

Thanks

I agree, remove it, make it narrower, or move it somewhere like the toolbar where it won't take up room.

I don't suspect you would but please don't disable the user's ability to add their own boards. This is one of my favorite features.
