Hello everybody,
Overall I'm very happy with Scid. Thanks to all the people involved in
this project.
But there is a small problem I can't solve.
I am not able to play a tactical game in Scid.
I made a new installation of Scid, Version 5.0.2., Windows 10
I open the menu "Play" → "Tactical game"
I see the message: „Phalanx or Toga not found."
I go to "Tools" → "Configure Engines" → "New"
Name: "Phalanx"
Command: ".....5.1\engines\phalanx-scid.exe"
OK
Now I try again: "Play" → "Tactical game"
A menu appears and I can set the difficulty etc.:
Difficulty:
Fixed: 1350
Opening:
Start New Game
Time:
limit engine analysis time
10 seconds
Play
Now everythings seems to be set up correctly. I see the two clocks.
I make a move.
The clock of my opponent ("Phalanx 1350") ticks, no other reaction.
After waiting for some minutes I click „Stop" - a move is made and the
program stops.
I have almost the same experience on a Debian 12 system (Scid 5.1.0;
without the last move).
I checked previous Windows versions. If I'm not mistaken Scid 4.6.4 was
the last version, where this function worked (out of the box, by the
way).
Has anybody a solution for this?
Thanks for any assistance
Werner
