Jose Carrillo wrote on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 01:28 AM UTC:Excellent ★★★★★

Can someone edit the link on the page for Modern Chess to list the 'Game
Courier Logs for Games of Modern chess'?

Currently this link points to:
http://play.chessvariants.org/pbmlogs/index.php?age=0&stat=any&gamewcp=Modern+chess

and displays no games in progress.

The right link should be:
http://play.chessvariants.org/pbmlogs/index.php?age=0&stat=any&gamewcp=Modern+Chess

with a Capital C for Chess (the search is case sensitive).

[Done! -Eds]

Thanks!!!

I posted a video for 4-Way Chess on YouTube. Please go there and watch it if you are curious.

EDIT:Thanks, Fergus, the 'empty e5 f5;' line works fine.

Shatranj Kamil X sets up 'dummy pieces' at the start and then removes them in the pregame phase with the commands @-e5 and @-f5, which move 'nothing' to those two squares. This permits showing a complete piece set at the bottom of the game page. Right now the code does not allow such commands. No rush - Joe Joyce still has 89 more days to make his move. QUOTE FOLLOWS:

I am testing new code. There could be problems for the interim. Come back later if things aren't working right now.

Syntax Error on line 0

@-e5 is not a valid expression, because @-e5 is not a recognized piece, coordinate, command, or subroutine.For the sake of debugging, here is the full GAME Code program that this error occurred in. The lines have been properly indented to help you spot scope errors.

0 @-e5

1 @-f5

2 moveindex 0

I rewrote part of Game Courier to clearly distinguish between user input and programming code, so that I could write code that restricts user input without affecting any programming code. One consequence of this is that notation no longer works as programming code unless it is preceded by the keyword 'MOVE:'. I could fix it so that notation can be used as programming code again, but it would involve duplicating code, and I would rather encourage the use of commands for programming code. The operation you are using @- for can be done with the empty command. Just replace your two lines with the statement 'empty e5 f5;'. The statement 'capture e5 f5;' will do the same thing but keep track of the last piece captured, just as if you used notation. But given your reason for this code, what you're really trying to do is modify the value of the $piecekeys variable, which can be done with the setsystem command. Use this statement for that purpose: 'setsystem piecekeys c C f F k K n N p P r R s S 1e 1E .1ef .1EF;' This will let your setup be accurate while still including the extra pieces among the available pieces.

Stockman,
This is not a right place to ask, but what is the link of your video?

I just deleted the log sissa-joejoyce-2009-40-877, because an error in it was halting execution of the logs page. The error appears to be in the line that assigns the name of the settings file. It apparently includes an apostrophe in it. I suggest renaming the settings file without the apostrophe and starting a new game.

Fergus, thanks. I thought it was just my games. I just emailed Carlos Cetina [sissa] about the problem, as he sent me the invite. Joe

Fergus, clicking [Move] on the Burmese Chess Preset page results in the following message. I am guessing that you need to use the 'empty' command on those squares.

Yes, you should use the empty command. Game Courier used to be able to take moves as commands, but to separate parsing of commands and moves, I changed it to internally preface any move with 'MOVE: '. When it sees moves in the programming code without the MOVE: keyword, it doesn't know what to do with them. Use commands where you can in the programming code, and use actual moves only where needed.

Among game logs, there are some games, wich have no description of rules anywhere (at least, i can't find them). For example, Chinese Army vs Tamerlane Army (i clicked on lind, wich should lead to page of rules for this game, but it leads to description of regular Xiang-qi).

Daniil, altough I hate you (LOL), I had the same problem!

MOre in the xx vs yy.

It is the responsibility of people who create presets to include a link to the rules. Some people neglect this responsibility, resulting in presets without any description of the rules.

For example: Pawnless vs Pawnful FIDE
