Hello Sergey,

It works! Thank you.

I have found only a few glitches:

Text "Pawn Promotion" is not translated in any language (it is in message.lng, but not in the program).

"Next puzzle" submenu does not work well. When you move over it, the "cursor" gets stuck in this submenu and you cannot go out.

In "new game" menu, "white" is not translated in any language.


Apart from that, a perfect program.http://cdn0.4dots.com/i/smiliestext/thankyou.gif

Thank you again

Hello Sergey,

thank you very much for your quick response!.

In "new game" menu, "white" is not translated in Spanish due to my fault. I wrote "es.Blancas" instead of "es:Blancas" in the message.lng file. I am very sorry. If you want to distribute the Spanish translation, this glitch has to be corrected.

As a general comment, the new version 1.2.4 looks much better due to improvements in the menus. Now it is easier to see them due to the bigger fonts, and the checkboxes are also more visible. By the way, what is the function the submenu Contents, inside Base menu?

I recommend this application to anybody that likes the chess and the books Congratulations for your good work

You can change font sizes in pbchess.cfg:
font_size_annotation=20 (board annotation font)
font_size_default=30 (default font - menus, dialogs)
font_size_header=30 (header font)
font_size_history=25 (moves history font)

This is the greatest pbchess improvement
Try for example to open the base "The manual of chess combinations" by S. Ivashenko" from here http://pbchess.vlasovsoft.net/en/contents.html and go to Base/Contents. You'll see

thank you for the othello game

[JIPG]

Thank for this new game

Is it possible to reach the NEW, SETTINGS, CLOSE, OK and CANCEL buttons for the models without stylus?

I suppose SETTINGS=MENU, CLOSE=BACK, UNDO=PREV, but I do not know how to start a new game, or how to close the dialog window in settings.

NEXT=Start new game

In dialog (the same as chess):

Cursor Right = Ok
Cursor Left = Cancel

The main difference is that the king cannot be eated by pawns but only from other kings. This changes the whole strategy a lot

Hi!

The new version - 1.2.5 of pbchess is available for testing!

A first commercial version of chess for Onyx.

See our testing page: http://forum.vlasovsoft.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=177

The main improvements are:

1. Game with time controls. There are several type of time controls: game time + bonus (for human and engines), move time (for engines), search depth (for engines); You can add your own time controls!
2. Puzzles statistics. The time and number of fails are collected for each solved puzzle. You can now see your statistics (total, average time, total, average fails, etc); you also can find the worst puzzle in the whole database, reset it and solve it again!
3. Various operations with moves / variants: delete moves before, delete moves after, promote variation, move variation (top, bottom, up, down), delete variation;
4. Show which turn to move and various other board settings;
5. A very comfortable layout system which allows to very quickly change visual components proportions (header, board, notation). You also can add your own layouts!
6. Engine vs engine playing mode!
7. Export current game to PGN format
8. Kindle Touch gestures improvement;
9. Pawn promotion dialog;
10. NAG initial support (show $1 as !, $2 as ?, ... etc);
11. Chess problems with multiple solutions;
12. Possibility to suspend/resume engines and to make moves instead of them.
