Quote from Lars Nowak on March 26, 2021, 10:17 pmHi Pablo,
the problem is an error to detect the right COM port. Your computer has 3 and the engine is probing only COM4.
I will provide a new version which fix this problem. In the mean time, you can try the following.
In the c:\users\....\AppData\Local\CertaboUci directory should be a configuration XML file. Please open the file
and replace
<PortName><auto></PortName>
with
<PortName>COM3</PortName>
or with
<PortName>COM5</PortName>
One of these should work.
To your further questions: You need no more to install, except the .NET runtime und you can unzip the engine anywhere you like.
Please do not place the spare queens. The engine cannot handle that.
For some technical reason, the UCI engines will not work with the bluetooth module but my BearChess will do that in the next release.

Quote from PabloJ on March 29, 2021, 2:00 pmDear Lars,
Thank you very much for your prompt response!!!
I was not able to find any XML file in the directory you mentioned (that's the one where the other new subdirectories are created, namely "books", "engines" and "log", isn't it?). The CertaboUCIcore engine doesn't seem to be crating that file on my Surface at all, only the log file is created. I installed the CertaboUCIcore engine also on a Desktop PC and it works perfectly with hiarcs and the XML file was also created on my Desktop PC.
I have been using your BearChess and it works perfectly on my Surface Go and I really like it! 🙂
Thanks and regards
Pablo

it looks like the piece on D1 (White Queen) is not recognized.
If you have two white queens, try the other or initiate a new calibration.
