ChessGUI 0.200 is out. More about it later. I expect no crashes.

New or changed files are ChessGUI.exe and TimeLag.exe !

Matthias.

TimeLag.exe is the skeleton of an UCI engine. ChessGUI sends a message to TimeLag on every move during a game.
TimeLag replies immediately. ChessGUI thus measures communication time lag between GUI and chess engines.
If the "lag-free" option is used, ChessGUI will give back _average_ lag to engines on every move.

Can you explain this more? How is average_lag calculated or is it just the lag for the current move fromTimeLag?
Does ChessGUI record the lag somewhere so users can view it?
How do you set "lag-free"?

Thanks.

Average = T/n, n = current move, T = current total lag
T starts where GUI book or pgn start positions end, but n is always from start of game lol ! I shall correct n.
See debug file for lag. "lag-free timing" is in "GUI Preferences / GUI 1".

I tried this but the lag value reported keeps increasing (see attached). Could there be a bug? Also I think engines should be given any time increments per move when using pgn start positions. Other guis do this.

Thanks.

"WM_TimeLagEngine() says TimeLagReturn 0000000010464140 SystemLag 0000000010463671 0000000010463968" means ChessGUI sent a message at 0000000010463671, it arrived in TimeLag at 0000000010463968, and arrived back in ChessGUI at 0000000010464140.
I shall check if it works as intended.

kN/s for WB and lag-free timing touched

I found a bug in the lag-free timing option.
