Feature Request - Realtime evaluation chart

Post by budana »

Dear Mark & Hiarcs developers,

I have the Windows version of Hiarcs Chess Explorer Pro (1.3.2 deep) and would like to request chart visualization (evaluation explorer) of an ongoing game (when playing, and not just when analyzing games). This feature is available in free GUI's like Arena (very outdated GUI) or Banksia. The screenshot here shows Arena's bar chart when playing a game against an engine. Like the current evaluation explorer (on game analysis), we could enable or disable the window.

Thanks guys!

This was already requested in the forum, we will add it in one of the future releases.

Related, is there still a plan for an evaluation bar (as in this screenshot from lichess)?

I like this idea too. :D

I would prefer a double evaluation bar on the right side. Or one on each side.
It's one for the first engine (Stockfish) and one for the second engine (LC0).

We are considering this (not sure about multiple bars though).

As simple as a single bar next to the board and a chart elsewhere (could be enabled/disabled) that presents the numerical difference of the engines evaluation with auto scaling or fixed should be fine. Awesome.
