Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

Thanks for this. So playing with FICS conflicts with trial mode. Therefore, I think we should speak of a FICS mode: https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/TrialMode/ I'll try to build on the concept of mode, which seems important to have a better understanding of SCID. Thanks! *** To try a varia

Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

Trial mode works with only clipbase window open, I tried some moves on the board. The problem seems to appear only with FICS and notation windows open. On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 12:53 PM, Massimo Ciacchi wrote: > Ben, > > I have no database open (should I?), I just have the notation and the FICS

Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

Ben, I have no database open (should I?), I just have the notation and the FICS windows open. I can tell if I am or not in Trial Mode by looking at the check mark next to Try Variation in Edit menu (ctrl + space). Clicking on the trial mode button is the same. Under these conditions I see no chang

Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

Massimo, Here is what the PGN window looks like before I try moves in the trial mode: trial-mode-pgn-window.png See what it does when I hit trial AND try a move that has not been played in the game: trial-mode-mo

Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

Thanks for the answer, Ben. I'm trying to focus on how to make trial mode work because it would be very useful for a lot of purposes. "I'm not sure what you mean here, but try to see what happens in your PGN window. When you're in trial mode, the game score disappears and is replaced by the trial

Thanks for the report, Massimo. Let's see if I can't help you out: > If instead I try to use the show analysis windows on the analysis window I only get a board with the current position, I can't see any variation on it. If I click with the right button on the analysis window, it gets blank and s

Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

Thanks to all again. I click on start/trial mode (the hammer button or edit→try variation) then I click add variation (the +V button on the main menu) but then? I can't move a single piece on the main board by clicking on them! At this point I would like to try the moves proposed by the engine. I

Re: [Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

I can think of two other ways to view variations, Massimo. You can add variations to the game by clicking on the V button. That way, the whole variation is added to the game in annotation, with the engine's name. Then you simply need to click at the end of it in the PGN window. The other way is t

[Scid-users] Visualizing analysis on the board

When I analyze a move (Tools→Analysis Engine) I get a list of moves with their evaluation mark (e.g. +0.34 -0.45). How can visualize that moves on the board? Should I create an empty board (how?) and manually play that moves? Thanks.
