Graphical User Interface GUIa user interface where interaction between user and a chess program takes place. Opposed to the sequential nature of a pure text based command-line interfacewhere a program prints its output and prompts for input, a graphical user interface allows a more sophisticated, graphical presentation of the programs output, as well within its event-driven architecture a more flexible user interaction not only by typing text commands, but using a pointingdevicea mouse or a pen or finger pointing on and touching a graphics tablet with its touchscreenfor random and direct manipulation of graphical elements. A GUI dedicated to play chess typically has a graphical board and game representation, where the user may enter moves by clicking and dragging a piece, quite similar to moving a piece on a "real" chess board. The sequential nature of the game of chessalong with the both fundamental states of a chess engine while playing a game, that is calculating a move and ponderingshould be appropriately indicated by the GUI, for instance to allow the interaction of entering moves only for the opponent side while pondering. There may be other modes than pure game playing, for instance to replay and analyze a game, allowing the user to click and drag the moves of the game notation move listwhich needs appropriate indication and ergonomic control. The chess program and its user interface can be interpreted as a Model—view—controller MVCan architectural pattern that isolates business logic f. The game model represents the domain-specific data on which the application operates - Inside a chess program, the information about the initial position and the game record to reproduce the current positions, likely subject of search or pondering during game play. The model and controller implement a finite-state machine which controls the game, its statesstate transitions and actions considering various modes. The view displays the game notationa list of movesand likely the board with the current positionsuitable for interaction inside a user interface. The controller receives input from various sources and devices, such as keyboardmouseserial port and internet socketand initiates a response by making calls on model objects. The external GUI application constitutes the MVC view and controller, and more or less even parts of a redundant game model or even multi-game modelto make the GUI aware of its own game states to even make decisions on behalf of the engine, such as move selection from opening books and endgame tablebasesdraw claims and offers and to finally declare the game over. These game interacting features of the external GUI application in conjunction with certain protocols such as UCI by far exceeds what a pure chess user interface was initially designed for - controller and view only, enter legal moves and render the state of the game. Sharing code of external GUIs, with potential game decisive move selection, time allocation and draw claiming, by multiple engines in official tournaments is a heavily discussed topic [7]. Beside a pure user versus engine game playing interface, modern general purpose Chess GUIs implement features and modes for multiple engine tournament play, and can be used as front end for chess server and chess database back ends. A GUI consists of multiple elements or widgetsbased on a visual rectangular area called window. Windows have recursive hierarchical relationships, that is a window may contain several child windows, which are usually restricted and clipped to the area of the parent window. The desktop metaphor as root, and all child and grand child windows of one or more applications can be interpreted as a tree structure, traversed in a depth-first manner if looking up graphical coordinates or visible areas, as already mentioned by Mikhail Donskoy at the Advances in Computer Games 9 conference in [10]. A GUI application usually has one main- or frame-window, often sizable and movable, and child of the desktop. The look and feel depends on the operating system and its window managerthere are quite common techniques and standardizations, also encouraged by cross platform widget toolkits. Beside its default child windows of the frame, the inner area also referred as workspacemay contain one or more so called document windows, to reduce clutter and make the desktop easier to navigate with multiple applications. Further modeless and often tabbed tool- output log or miscellaneous windows for various purposes may share the workspace or may be docked on the borders or various areas of the mainframe, also called an IDE-style interface. Another class of windows, dialog boxes apply modal transactions like saving a document to a file. They contain all kinds of child widgets to enter data, and most often buttons to confirm OK or cancel the transaction. There are further tabbed dialogs and multi-page wizard or assistants with next, previous and finish buttons to guide users through a sequence of transactions which are dependent on each other or partly optional. A document or model usually refers to a game of chess and its game notation as move-listwhether still in progress or loaded from a database.Lucas chess for android
ProjectResolute has been a chess fan since he was a kid. He now enjoys playing on chess dot com and various computer chess programs. Computers rule and humans drool in the world of chess. Since the moment Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov, the abyss of skill between human and computers has been getting wider. Nowadays, every avid chess enthusiast can download a chess program and watch intense chess battles being played with precision and skill beyond the dreams of even the top grandmasters, and it can easily be done for free provided you already have a computer and an internet connection. I wanted a challenge, and it seemed that I had one! I excitedly double-clicked the file and, alas, a black window popped up with the three names of the programmers who wrote the marvelous piece of code but nothing else. GUI is short for graphical user interface, and though it was a little confusing at first, I eventually got Stockfish running and got the worst whipping in my life. The concept of an interaction between a chess engine and its GUI is really quite easy to understand. This engine wouldn't do any good without the rest of the car. You need wheels, a place to sit, a steering wheel, brakes, etc. The same goes for the UCI chess engine. The GUI program provides a way for the user to interact with the engine, which does all the work and is always 20—30 moves ahead of you. There are many different GUIs to choose from, some paid and some free. This article focuses on the free ones. Remember that all GUIs have their own pros and cons. I personally use all of the GUIs mentioned here, because I like to use at least a feature or two on each one:. An outstanding feature of this GUI is the number of chess engines that it comes with. The website says there are over 30 different engines that have a variety of skill levels. However, as with almost all GUIs, users can install as many other chess engines into Lucas Chess as they want. Another big plus is Lucas Chess has training positions preinstalled, including everything from tactical problems to endgames. There are enough puzzles to last you for months, if not years. If you have a tactical chess puzzle book handy, you could easily copy those over as well although I discovered it can take time. What I like most about this software is its analysis feature. I can analyze any game I put into Lucas Chess with a chess engine. I put the game into the program, hit analyze, set the time per move I want it to analyze, and it scrolls through each individual move and color codes which ones are excellent, good, neutral, mistake, or just plain bad! I then click on a move the chess engine deemed bad, and I can see the move the chess engine would have played along with the move I played and what it predicted would've happened afterward. I wish Lucas Chess offered the ability to print out stored games on a scoresheet, so I could have a nice-looking hard copy of all my favorite games. I did find this feature in another program, Chessbase Reader However, it would save time when playing a game in Lucas Chess to not have to copy and paste the game over to another program. The program is only available for Windows OS. However, I believe that it's possible to use on Linux by compiling the program yourself if you're a computer whiz. The Lucas Chess GUI program is useful for analyzing games, practicing tactics, and playing against various chess engines.Lucas chess tutorial

I just pitted Lucas Chess engines from elo all the way to Stockfish 8 supposedly against Vanessa personality elo on my system of Chessmaster The default Lucas engine settings was depth 3, but all the engines move instantly. Against humans, maybe they will find it tough regardless of the engines moving instantly. But against Vanessa, they were all beaten to pulp including Stockfish. On another note, the engine on Chess. But on the hardest level, it is stronger than even the Chessmaster engine the King engine Yet, the Lucas Chess engines managed to beat the Roxy personality easily. Why such a big difference between Vanessa and Roxy, I don't understand, but I know the Vanessa personality of Chessmaster is pretty strong I wonder if anyone here has ever tested the Lucas engine "ratings" to see if they were accurate or not. I did test, and looks like they are way, way off Lucas Chess is well aclaimed by many novice and intermediate chess players, but what's up with the weak engine behavior? I pose the question, because many developing chess players use Lucas Chess as a trainer and sparring partner, etc. But if the performance is so way off, that leaves a lot of question marks. The methods that Lucas Chess uses to handicap engines has always baffled me, which is the reason why I never fully embraced the program. It does have a lot of nice features, though. The analysis features are pretty cool. Regarding the engines moving instantly, how did you run the engine-engine tournaments? Did you use two separate computers and manually key the moves into both computers doubtful that it's possible at that time controlor did you import engines? This may be the reason some of your engines are moving instantly. As an update, I'm running a game tournament right now in Lucas Chess as a test. I don't have the Vanessa personality worked up, so I used the Chessmaster Laura personality instead. It's still in the middle of the first game. Neither engine is moving instantly; They're both playing a reasonable game. The tournament seems to be going about as I'd expect. Laura has won 1 out of 5 games so far. Lime is rated in the s; Laura supposedly is ratedbut my testing says it's more around the s. So the results are at least in the ballpark. I opened both programs at the same time and then have them play separate colors while, I key in their moves into their respective GUIs :. Scid chess
Hello, just wanted to let you know that I created a tutorial on lucas chess game analysis. Thank you very much, very good article. Thank you very much! I hope that people can learn a lot from this article. Thank you Lucas! Does this version include the upgraded Python? I was thinking of using the analyzed game files. So after analysis you click train and you go through the moves and Lucas tells you to try again until you get the move from the analysis. You can also ask for hint or solution if you can't get it. This reduces the overhead and time because you don't have to invoke an engine every time you train done during the analysis. The change to version 3. I am working on a new version, incompatible with this one with python 3. In GitHub a portable version can be downloaded but only for tests as it has many errors. I take into account your suggestion. I have been thinking for some time about creating a database of analyzed positions, usable in these cases. That's what I was thinking about also. So I have created a database called training and when I analyze games. In the database you have Play Against A Game and I use that but then a default engine re-evaluates the positions live. This is where we can just use some simple code to compare your move to the best move from the original analysis. You already my the structure setup. Your App is really a help to me and I'm sure to others as well. Thank you very much Lucas! Thank you, the article is interesting. I will give links to it to friends and subscribers of chess sites.

The best chess game was played between Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky inbut the best chess videogames are something else entirely. The rules of chess are simple, but it's one of the most demanding tests of foresight, tactics, and mental endurance there is. Because there multiple reasons to play software chess—roughly split between causal fun, studying, and competition—there are many different kinds of programs and games out there. This guide will introduce you to the software chess world, with advice for players who just want to play casually online or offline, as well as those who want to seriously study opening moves and analyze historical matches. It's free and supports plenty of match styles, including multi-day correspondence. The best thing about it is that you can play anonymously without creating any kind of account, though I find that means I'm more likely to encounter players who resign or request a draw immediately—you never know who you might be paired with. For practice, you can also play against the Stockfish engine more on what that is in the sections below. You have to put up with a few ads, and it'll bug you to pay for an optional premium subscription, but as a way to quickly start playing chess online at any skill level, it's one of your best bets. It runs in your browser with a simple, clean board design, and has a ton of players so I've never had a hard time finding a match with someone of a similar skill level which is to say, not very much skill. Chess Ultra is a gorgeous chess game for those who just want to play chess without dealing with the complicated software in the sections below. It includes VR support, an AI opponent with several difficulty levels, as well as local and online multiplayer, Twitch integration, and the option to export matches. It also includes basic tutorials for newcomers. For anyone who simply wants to play chessthis is your game—simple and beautiful, like chess itself. For a free-to-play alternative, try Simply Chess. It's not nearly as slick as Chess Ultra, and it crashed on me pretty quickly, but hey, it's free. It supports online play with a separate account, and comes with a good computer opponent via the Stockfish engine see the section below for an explanation on that. If you want to play against a powerful, customizable computer opponent for the purpose of studying chess, you'll want a chess engine, such as the free and open source Stockfish engine or its derivatives. These engines are primarily for training—you can play against them, analyze chess positions, and pit them against each other—so they're for people who seriously want to study the game. If you're not sure a chess engine is something you want to tinker with, don't buy anything—free engines are extremely powerful. I consult the rankings from computerchess. An engine alone won't do much for you, though, as they don't include any kind of graphical user interface, just a console. To play against a chess engine or use it to analyze boards, it must be paired with a chess GUIbut there are lots of free ones. Most come with many engines installed already, so you can get started with one download. Lucas Chess : Simple and easy to understand for beginners, Lucas Chess is a good place to start. It includes a bunch of engines and training tools, and the UI isn't too confusing, even if you're unfamiliar with the more complicated functions of chess engines. Arena Chess GUI : Arena Chess is more daunting for newcomers than Lucas Chess, but it includes a great deal of featuresas well as support for 19 languages and a Linux verison. You'll want to pair it with MillionBase, a massive database of chess games in PGN format scroll to 'Data Downlods' here or other chess game databases. You can play and learn a lot about chess without spending a dime, and that's where I recommend starting, but pro packages come with lots of bells and whistles if you have the cash. Much of what you're paying for is their completeness, and the quality of their training tools. It's a bit of a mess to install activation keys! I especially like 'Friend Mode,' which allows you to play against a computer opponent that adjusts to your skill level. It also offers hints that aren't too direct, helping you learn without losing track of why a certain move is better than others. Fritz 15 also includes a 6 month membership to Playchess. If you want a complete package and don't mind spending the money, it's a reasonable choice. 4 Tools to improve Your ChessLucas Chess

Pros
Fantastic flexibility with a huge choice of preset opponents or a customisable ELO rating from 1 to about 3200 (Would usually beat Kasparov.)
Six engines built in - you can choose any one to play and any one to tutor.
Editable and personalisable book.
If there's anything missing I haven't found it yet.
Cons
Somewhat cheesy interface might lead people to think it's a less mature product than it is.
Some might lament the lack of 3D.
Summary
I'll keep trying other freeware distros but I'll be surprised if I find a more usable one than this.
Fantastic.
