Error message after game analysis from saved games #659

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Analyze game
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect no message to come up with an error. I don't know what the error is 
about, maybe there is an error in signaling an error, as the analysis is 
correct as far as I can see... note the error seems to occur when the game ends 
with a mate.

Specifically, the error report states:

"Error in ThreadService Runnable.
SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 
Invalid move: a2 a1"

and a2 a1 is the Queen moving to checkmate.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and what 
environment?

.98u3f3 on Windows 7 with Java 1.6

More generally, the operation of the automatic chess game analysis is rather 
cumbersome and subject to strange errors. For example, it does not work if I 
organize the chess game notation in column. I also have a strange issue whereby 
if I click on a saved game (after "show my saved games), it outputs the 
preceding game, so it is never possible to open the latest game and analyse it 
this way. This might be due to a mistake in giving an ID to the games, i.e. the 
first game in the database is ID'ed as 0, not 1.

I like the automatic ECO coding of games in the database, but doesn't it give 
one an unfair advantage to have this available while playing as well, i.e. one 
is able to see when one goes into a new variation, and thus spend more time 
thinking at that point?

I'll look at it. The analysis feature is in alpha state as you can see, but I 
will try to get it fixed sometime. 

In my opinion it gives only an infinitesimal advantage if any. Moreover, most 
of the other FICS interfaces, incl. the most popular one - Babaschess - show 
ECO during a game.
